Infolytica releases new version of MagNet for electromagnetic design

Infolytica, the leading electromagnetic design software company since 1978, has recently enhanced its suite of tools for designing complex electromechanical devices. The release of MagNet v7.7 extends the functionality of this software, which already which incorporates Multi-physics and motion effects.

Infolytica offers state-of-the-art 2D/3D Electromagnetic simulation software for magnetic, electric, and thermal analyses. Engineers from a wide range of industries use Infolytica's software to design and analyse applications including electromechanical devices, non-destructive testing, induction heating, and industrial transformers. Full feature scripting and parameterization (including Optimisation) make Infolytica products a flexible solution for electromagnetic simulation.

It has recently been upgraded to v7.8 with the inclusion of facilities to create coils by a simple graphical "point and click" technique. A number of additional enhancements have been included, plus improved 2D/3D nonlinear solver speed and accuracy. MagNet was always regarded as one of the fastest analysis software available for magnetics, and this has now been further enhanced - including a speed up of up to 50x for its 2D analysis.

Also available from Infolytica, MotorSolve is a specialised Design Tool for SRM, brushed and brushless DC, and Induction machines, aimed at designers who require answers quickly and accurately. There is a sizing feature (based on classical methods) to prepare an initial design, and adjustments later made using template data entry with accurate FEM then utilised. Custom Rotors and Stators can be imported as DXF files. Coil winding layouts can be created automatically, plus built-in tools for reporting and monitoring the design history. The integrated thermal modelling allows temperature effects and cooling strategies to be tested for BLDC and IM machines, all in a single package.
