Date: 2026-09-05 Purpose: Copper inductor coupled to a lumped RLC circuit.

What it shows

A three-dimensional copper inductor is coupled to a lumped circuit through a terminal pair. The circuit contains a 1 V, 50 Hz source, a resistor, the inductor, and a capacitor. It is defined inline in the circuit section, and results are written to CircuitResults.txt. The mesh uses meters. tapestack_circuit reads its circuit from a SPICE netlist instead.

Files

file	role
inductor.geo	geometry (m); mesh it with gmsh
input.conf	deck, including the circuit

Run

gmsh -3 inductor.geo -o inductor.msh

../../build/bin/belfem # or mpirun -np 4 ../../build/bin/belfem

Shared launcher

../scripts/Allrun generates the mesh, chooses ranks and threads, and can submit to Slurm; ../scripts/Allclean removes run output. To use them from this directory, copy the two wrapper scripts Allrun and Allclean from examples/helix/ here and run ./Allrun (./Allrun --dry-run prints the plan first). If you copy this deck out of the tree, copy examples/scripts/ along with it and point the wrappers at its new location. The launcher does not build plugins; do that step by hand as described above. Per-deck settings go in a run.conf next to input.conf; see ../scripts/README.md.
