Handle Any Magnetic Fields
Whether you’re modeling static or transient electromagnetic fields, Simcenter MAGNET provides a wide range of results, from field strengths and conductor currents, to loss values and material specific behaviors.
Benefit from being able to handle most situations, including:
- Predicting demagnetization
- Running analyses of eddy currents and core loss
- Simulating proximity effects
- Conducting non-linear analysis of magnetostatic fields
- Performing second-order time stepping
When Motion Matters
In addition to quick and accurate solvers for alternating current (AC) and transient fields, Simcenter MAGNET also handles virtually every type of motion. Capabilities include:
-
Handles externally or internally driven motion
-
Computes induced currents due to motion
-
Supports multiple moving components
Accurate electromagnetic solutions
Quickly and accurately solve Maxwell’s equations and simulate a variety of electromagnetic fields using finite element (FE) techniques. Efficiently analyze transient (time-varying) electromagnetic fields, AC (time-harmonic) electromagnetic fields, and magnetostatic fields.
Control Meshing to Manipulate Designs
Precisely control meshing and determine any necessary mesh refinements with Simcenter MAGNET’s meshing-related features, including:
- Meshing for coupled thermal problems
- Remeshing in response to motion
- Automatic mesh refinement
You can also set boundary conditions, which allows for reductions in model size.
Run Parametric Studies
Design optimization and innovation begins with trying new things. Run “What-if?” scenarios without the usual cost-constraints of working prototypes using Simcenter MAGNET’s simulation capabilities.
Drive innovation by performing parameterization of various geometric features, materials, and mesh settings – in any desired quantity according to value range you specify.
A Convenient Library
Eliminate time spent entering material information for each individual design. Simcenter MAGNET includes a large database of over 400 commonly used materials, and allows users to curate their own database of custom materials.
Simcenter MAGNET also:
- Handles linear, non-linear, and anisotropic material data
- Records temperature dependent material characteristics
- Includes tools to help characterize material data curves
- Allows for the easy transfer of data between models and users
