Is it possible to model the friction between two sliding magnets in COMSOL?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I would like to model two magnets one located in top and one in bottom. The top magnet is sliding on the bottom magnet which is fixed. is it possible to model such a simple problem in COMSOl using the "Solid Mechanics" and "Magnetic and Electric Fields" physics or not? I am not sure about how to model the contact region. I do not know which type of pair should I use in my model, contact or Identity?

Any advice and suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mohsen
