Infolytica updates 3D electromagnetic-field solver

Assigning a uniformly magnetized Samarium Cobalt magnet material (24 MGOe SmCo) to a selected volume in a Voice Coil actuator. The magnetized direction is shown pointing upwards.

Infolytica Corporation has released their latest MagNet for SOLIDWORKS update, the company’s electromagnetic field simulation add-in to the 3D CAD package. This update includes improvements made to the interface, post-processing, and speed of the software.

MagNet for SOLIDWORKS is an embedded 3D electromagnetic field solver developed by Infolytica Corporation that’s based on their standalone MagNet 2D/3D software.

The simulation and analysis of any electromagnetic device can be performed completely within the SOLIDWORKS environment using this embedded version, making it simpler than ever to setup such complex design problems. This includes a wide range of applications such as transformers, sensors, actuators, and more.

In this new release, changes have been made to the user interface for both material modeling and post-processing. It is easier to set the direction of magnetization and material type for the electromagnetic analysis.

In addition, users can set their desired point of origin in the model for reference when viewing charts and quantities available after a simulation is complete in order to view results in a relatable manner for their application.

MagNet for SOLIDWORKS allows users to define the location of a pivot point for any moving parts within their device.   Defining this point then leads to the computation of accurate Torque values. Right: at [0,0,0] – Left at [100, 0,0]

A new level of efficiency: speed ups have been made to the model setup, visualizations, transparency modeling and loading of large results data. This update also includes the continuous work with each release to make the accurate static, AC, and transient 3D electromagnetic field simulations within SOLIDWORKS more efficient.

All of these changes result in an even faster and reliable add-in.

“We are committed to our clients and delivering the design and analysis solutions they need,” said Chad Ghalamzan, Marketing Manager for Infolytica Corporation. “That’s why we offer free trial evaluations of our software to anyone interested in seeing the full set of features and results that MagNet for SOLIDWORKS has to offer them.”

MagNet for SOLIDWORKS is now available for Microsoft Windows 7 or 8.
