Hello everyone, I installed the last version of OpenFOAM on linux (Xubuntu 14.04) because I want to perform a simulation of the magnetic fields generated by a permanent magnet in a volume of air.
I am new in the simulation but I read that OpenFOAM had magneticFoam solver to simulate the permanent magnet.

My study case is to know the magnetic fields generated by a permanent dipole magnet whose dimensions are:
- Length: 10mm
- Width: 5 mm
- Height: 5 mm
- Material: Neodymium Iron Boron

The volume in which the generated magnetic field has to be calculated:
- Length: 50mm
- Width: 50mm
- Height: 50mm

I have looked for detailled tutorial but I have not found a simple study case to understand the simulation procedure and parameters. I hope that someone will be able to help me to solve.

Thanks you for advance.

Thank you for your reply.

I have downloaded the magSandbox example to understand how the study case is built but unfortunately, I have an error when I run "./Allrun".
The error is recorded in the file "log.magneticFoam" (See attached file)and I don't know how to solve this problem to see the result of this study case.

Does someone know how correct this error?
