For help understanding magnet orientation and rotation within the simulation environment please refer to Section A.3.

The magnet moves by rotating around the Z-axis by the distance Arc Length which is measured in degrees for the rotation simulation format. The arc length resolution can be set using the step size as described in Section 4.3. Rotation begins (0 degrees) from the Origin Position angle shown in Figure 4-4. Either a positive (counter clockwise) or negative (clockwise) rotation can be used.
