A finite element program to simulate electrical engineering designs in two dimensions. It includes a Pre and Post-Processing environment and analysis modules. The software can be used as a "virtual prototyping" tool, allowing conceptual deisgns to be tried and tested quickly and easily.

The software also simulates the mechanical and thermal effects of a device, including the coupling to the electromagnetic fields.

It can be used for axi-symmetric geometries, as well as designs where the third dimension is not a significant factor in the analysis.

Typical applications include:

  • Motors
  • Accelerator Magnets
  • Generators
  • Actuators
  • Sensors
  • Magnetic Shielding
  • NDT Equipment
  • Magnetic Separation
  • Magnetic Levitation
  • X-Ray tubes
  • Electron Lithography
  • Induction heating
  • Magnetisation process of permanent magnets
  • Scientific Apparatus including MRI
Simulation modules:
  • Electrostatic Fields
  • Lossy (conducting) dielectrics
  • Magnetostatic Fields
  • Time Varying Fields
  • Motion Induced Currents
  • Rotational Motion
  • Linear Motion
  • Space Charge Analysis
  • Mechanical Stress Analysis
  • Transient and Steady State Thermal Analysis
  • Magnetisation and Demagnetisation 'in service'
  • Optimisation
Features include:
  • Automatic finite element mesh generation
  • Non Linear, hysteretic and anisotropic materials
  • Coupling to external circuits
  • Powerful post-processing including ability to compute energy and power, force and torque, contour maps of any variable, harmonics analysis and particle trajectories.
  • Environment for parameterisation and creating custom menus
  • Optimisation
  • Link to system simulation
