Magnet Repulsion Force

[AustinEich]

Hey,

So I have been using springs to model the nonlinear repulsion force between magnets in Adams View.
Does anyone know of a way I could just apply a radial repulsive force between objects in the simulation that just applies to a number of objects: similar to how the contact force works?

Thanks

I doubt there's a 'proper' solution in ADAMs, because it won't understand how the field is perturbed by other poles in the same space.

For example if you've just got two magnets then presumably F₁₂=(Q1*Q2)*some_constant/(r²_(1-2))

But you can't write anything as easy about 3 bodies.

Cheers
