Goals for COMSOL:

  1. Simulate Magnetic field
    1. Coil pair floating in space. Plot B field as a function of distance within uniform region.
    2. Same test but with 3 Coil pairs. Plot B field (produce 3D plot within Volume as a function of height).
  2. Test effect of ferrous air bearing
    1. Within uniform field using mag field interface, Plot B field
  3. Combine both and test for field uniformity within our setup.
    1. Plotting B field
  4. Thermal simulation within AC/DC module (if time permits)
  5. For electrical: focus on testing out a PID control

General Goals for Mechanical:

  1. Validate design in COMSOL - this allows for BOM (3)
  2. Joule heating simulation (on Ansys) - unsure of timeline on this - Jan 25th
  3. Complete CAD MK2 - Feb 1st
    1. Complete Corners (oliver)
    2. Adjust dimensions and restructure CAD.
  4. Complete BOM - Feb 8th - ensure u-channel selected can with hold wire
  5. Depending on lead time order and assembly first set of coil (check uniformity) - Feb 8th
  6. Order and assembly rest - beginning of march
