## Additional information
This is a 3D, multiphysics
model of a MEMS magnetometer, coupling electromagnetic (electrokinetic),
mechanichal (elastic) and thermal models. To run the model, open
`magnetometer.pro` with Gmsh.
When an alternating current flows through it, the magnetometer starts to vibrate
if it is placed in a magnetic field. The amplitude of the vibration can be used
to measure the magnetic field. To increase sensitivity, the frequency of the
current is tuned to excite a resonant mode of the xylophone-type
structure. Several analyses are predefined: uncoupled modal analysis of the
structure (`Eigenmodes`) and calculation of the current flow
(`Electrokinetics`), static and dynamic electro-mechanical analysis
(`Electro-mechanical`), and coupled electro-thermal analysis
(`Electro-thermal`).
