Symbolic definition of forms : magnetic fieldΒΆ
We compute the magnetic field generated by a coil placed on a C-core. We see how to
model a 3D constructive solid geometry
set material properties from domain and boundary labels
define bilinear- and linear forms symbolically using trial- and testfunctions
