New Version of QuickField FEA Software

By DE Editors

The latest release of the QuickField FEA product allows users to define electrical connectivity as a function of the temperature for all materials involved into the DC
Conduction, AC Magnetic and Transient Electromagnetic analyses. The New Data Editor provides the user interface for entering data and displaying these functions  as plots.

Temperatures, which may affect the conductivity, could be defined as constants or formulas with coordinates and time. For AC Magnetic problems it is also possible to import the temperature field calculated in the linked Heat Transfer problem. This new feature complements the existing capability to import the Joule losses from AC Magnetics to Heat Transfer analysis. Together these be-directionally coupled problems could be iterated to achieve the accurate results for temperatures in conductors, heated by their currents.

The magnetic state import technology, introduced in the previous version of QuickField for DC magnetic problems only, is now extended to AC Magnetics, and is useful for simulating various devices including speakers and inductors.
