Code Agros2D and Possibilities of its Use for Modeling and Design of Magnetic Bearings

A multi-platform software Agros2D is presented, whose purpose is to model complex 2D multiphysics problems in engineering practice. The code is intended for monolithic solving of systems of generally nonlinear and nonstationary partial differential equations describing particular physical fields. The numerical schemes implemented in the code are based on a fully adaptive higher-order finite element method. The paper discusses the unique features of the code and its internal structure. Its power is demonstrated on an example aimed at modeling of a passive axial magnetic bearing.
