The study of the effects of magnetic field stimulation in biological systems require devices capable of generating homogenous magnetic fields and further guarantee a controlled and repeatable exposure to different samples involved in the experiment [1]. This work presents analysis and validation of a tri-axial Square Helmholtz Coils (SHC) system, commonly used to generate highly uniform magnetic field on a specific volume. The analysis of SHC is based on the Bio-Savart law [3]. In order to verify the distribution and uniformity of each component of the magnetic field Bz, By and Bx on workloads, a 3D computational model was designed in COMSOL Multiphysics® software.
