I am working on an E-I electromagnet. I want to connect the forces generated by the electromagnet to a force distribution on a Solid Mechanics module to calculate the stresses on the I beam. How do I get this force distribution? I seem to only be able to get the total force generated by the electromagnet.

Joseph,

you can simply use the magnetomechanical multiphysics coupling. Check the example 'plate_deflected_by_magnet' in the application library. Of course you must use mf physics in case you want an electromagnetic coil in your model.
