Vector Fields produces the world's most advanced software for modelling and analysing electromagnetic equipment and effects. Our virtual prototyping tools will speed your design process - helping you to achieve your goal, whether that is lowest cost, optimum performance, easier manufacturability, or the best combination. We have two powerful generic modelling tools, and application-specific software:

Opera

Opera is a world-leading software package for the modelling of static and time varying electromagnetic fields, and related fields such as temperature. Read more...

Concerto

Concerto series 6's integrated design automation software allows organisations to reduce costly RF and microwave design iteration cycles, and achieve the optimal solution much faster. Read more...

Application-specific tools

Solutions for specific design problems:

  • rotating machinery
  • superconducting 'quench'
  • space charge effects

Superconducting wire and CAD tool vendors combine forces to simplify electrical machine design

--- The superconducting wire producer Sumitomo Electric, and the electromagnetic simulation expert Cobham Technical Services, have joined forces to offer an advanced solution for the design of electrical machines and power equipment.

Cobham's QUENCH electromagnetic software tool for modelling the quenching process in superconducting materials now comes with a library containing comprehensive manufacturer-supplied material characterisation data for Sumitomo's DI-BSSCO bismuth-based superconducting wire. The combination will greatly simplify the design and prototyping stages of applying high temperature superconductors (HTS). Among the application sectors currently exploring HTS-based solutions are electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure, hydroelectric and wind turbine generators, electric motor propulsion systems for ships, and high performance magnets.

3D design software speeds response time for RF connector specialist

A sizeable proportion of the coaxial RF connector business is for custom parts, and the strong competition in this sector means that success relies heavily on a connector vendor's responsiveness to customer requests. One of the most successful and longest-established manufacturers in this market is San-tron. Around 70% of its business is producing custom parts, and a key element in securing these orders is the ability to produce engineering samples rapidly. San-tron will typically design a new connector within just three working days, thanks in part to an automated design process using the Concerto high-frequency electromagnetic design software, from Cobham Technical Services.
