Model induced currents due to change of magnetic flux density

Model induced currents due to change of magnetic flux density

Model induced currents due to change of magnetic flux density

(OP)
Hi,

I am currently trying to model: a bar permanent magnet moving toward a coil, where induced current will be created on the coil due to the change of magnetic flux density. Is it possible to do this in ANSYS? or Ansoft Workbench? (with transient of harmonic analysis)

Thanks!!!

RE: Model induced currents due to change of magnetic flux density

(OP)
I write the ANSYS codes for this problem today, but keep getting error message: "circuit modeling with velocity modeling effects are not available". Anybody has any idea what the problem is?

I attached my codes below:
