Maxwellkinematic coupling

This documentation deals with the Jython script used in Flux and allows to understand the various structures of entities and functions, and use it in user scripts for example.

The kinematic module of Flux enables the study of the displacement of a moving part of a device determined by mechanical forces (due to springs, friction, gravity, …), and electromagnetic forces (generated by magnets, coils, …). We deal in this case with the magneto-mechanical coupling (or studies with kinematic coupling ).
