Abstract

We developed a visual teaching platform that can calculate the magnetic field of magnetic core inductance in real time. The platform adopts the combination of two theories of finite element calculation and neural network technology. It can enhance students’ understanding and application of the basic knowledge of electromagnetic fields. First, the finite element method was used to calculate the magnetic field of the magnetic core inductance, and the magnetic field data set under different input parameters was obtained. On this basis, the neural network method was used to learn the data set and train the corresponding model. Then the trained neural network model was used to calculate the magnetic core inductance magnetic field. After comparing with the finite element calculation results, we found that the calculation results of the neural network model combined with the finite element were in good agreement with the finite element calculation results. Compared with the finite element calculation method, the calculation speed of the magnetic field distribution calculated by the neural network was faster. Taking the calculation of the magnetic core inductance magnetic field as an example, the calculation time was shortened by about 170 times. Finally, we built a magnetic field visualization teaching platform based on MATLAB. The example magnetic field was quickly predicted by the neural network, saving computing time and effectively improving the teaching of electromagnetic field theory.
