Infolytica Corporation (Montreal, Quebec) announced a new release of MagNet 2D and MagNet 3D, part of the company’s low-frequency electromagnetic field simulation software. Updates in this new release improve the accuracy of the simulation results and efficiency of the user.
Automated mesh refinements in 2D are handled more efficiently, resulting in faster runtimes. A documented example at Infolytica.com demonstrates a reduction in runtime by a factor of three.
Simulating complex electromechanical devices requires the versatility permitted with MagNet’s support of arbitrary motion (multiple degrees of freedom). Taking full advantage of such power is now easier with the improved spring modeling that calculates the dynamic mechanical effects of any two spring-connected components, commonly found in many magnetic suspension systems or complex actuators.
Complex control algorithms, such as vector-controlled circuitry, are now supported when using the MagNet Plug-In for Simulink for cosimulations between an electric machine and control logic. Plus, several tools for enhanced analysis capabilities, such as for coil creation, advanced field probing, or parameter management, are now supported in MagNet.
MagNet 6.25 is now available for PCs running Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and Vista. A free trial of MagNet’s magnetostatic 2D field simulation software is also available at Infolytica Corporation.
