Why Simcenter™ MAGNET™ ?
Simcenter™ MAGNET™ is a powerful electromagnetic field simulation solution for performance prediction of motors, generators, sensors, transformers, actuators, solenoids or any component with permanent magnets or coils.
Model the physics of electromagnetic devices
Simcenter™ MAGNET™ includes capabilities to accurately model the physics of electromagnetic devices. This includes the ability to model manufacturing processes, temperature dependent material properties, magnetization and de-magnetization modeling, and vector hysteresis models among others.
Simcenter™ MAGNET™ also has a built-in motion solver with a six degree-of-freedom capability. It allows for complex problems like magnetic levitation or complex motion to be accurately modeled and analyzed. This is made possible with a unique smart re-meshing technology.
Explore the possibilities through simulation automation
An efficient design process requires tools which can be customized to the workflow. Simcenter™ MAGNET™ includes sophisticated scripting capabilities that allow for flexible workflow automation.
Using the Simcenter™ MAGNET™ fully parameterized CAD functionality will improve the efficiency of your simulation. In particular, models that would ordinarily require a lot of manual processes, such as those that include numerous calculations for various magnets with different dimensions and many air gaps.
Stay integrated with circuit to system level modeling
System-level (1D) or model-based (2D axisymmetric, 2D translational, and full 3D) analysis requires accurate sub-component models to account for interactions and local transients that affect the overall system behavior.
Simcenter™ MAGNET™ includes capabilities such as native circuit simulations, connections for co-simulation and exporting of 1D system models for Simcenter™ Flomaster™, Simcenter™ Amesim™ and other platforms.
Capabilities
AC electromagnetic simulation: simulates electromagnetic fields in and around current-carrying conductors, in the presence of isotropic materials that may be conducting, magnetic or both.
Advanced electromagnetic material modeling: acounts for nonlinearities, temperature dependencies, demagnetization of permanent magnets, hysteresis loss and anisotropic effects.
Electric field simulations: simulates static electric fields, AC electric fields and transient electric fields.
Electromagnetic-motion simulation: simulates rotational, linear and arbitrary motion with six degrees of freedom.
Transient electromagnetic simulation: permits the simulation of complex problems that involve time-varying arbitrary-shaped current or voltage sources and outputs.
Steady-state and transient temperature distribution: considering losses in the winding as well as core, including the eddy current and hysteresis losses.
