Innovation and collaborative, synchronized program management for new programs
Simcenter MAGNET 2D/3D 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. With this efficient-to-use and accurate software, you can optimize, design, and analyze simple to complex electromagnetic and electromechanical devices.
Simcenter MAGNET virtual prototyping is both cost and time-effective. Parametric and optimization studies allow the exploration of multiple configurations for performance improvements. The accurate replication of the extreme operating conditions provides insight into loss and temperature hotspots, permanent magnet demagnetization, unused material, and failure analysis through fault conditions.

There are three electric field analysis capabilities: Static (produced by DC voltages and charge distributions), AC (produced by AC voltages), and transient (produced by voltages that vary arbitrarily in time). The electric field analysis can also simulate current flow - the static current densities produced by DC voltages on electrodes in contact with conducting material.
The electric field analysis is typically used for high-voltage applications to predict insulation and winding failures, lightning impulse simulations, partial discharge analysis, and transmission tower and lines impedance analysis.
Simcenter low-frequency electromagnetic solutions allow you to explore designs to meet performance, and make timely-decisions in product development, reducing the number of physical prototypes. The flexibility in our solutions, which includes finite element static, time-harmonic, transient solvers with the motion for any number of components, permits the design and analysis of electromagnetic and electromechanical devices of any complexity.
Coupled thermal finite element analysis simulates the temperature distribution as a result of heat rise or cooling in the electromechanical device. It seamlessly couples to electromagnetic and electric field simulations, and uses their power loss data as a heat source, and then determines the overall performance due to the impact of temperature changes. This analysis determines the nonlinear steady-state or time-varying temperature distributions caused by the specified heat sources.
Using this analysis, you can predict the temperature distribution caused by ohmic, eddy-current, core and dielectric power losses, and the corresponding temperature effects on material properties and electromagnetic and electric fields. Hence, you can accurately predict the demagnetization of permanent magnets, and hotspots to determine the loading capacity and service life of your device.
