Simcenter MAGNET

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-efficient. Parametric and optimization studies allow the exploration of multiple configurations for performance improvements. Accurate replication of extreme operating conditions provides insight into loss and temperature hotspots, permanent magnet demagnetization, unused material, and failure analysis through fault conditions.

Simcenter MAGNET offers engineers the opportunity to replicate laboratory experiments for their devices with virtual prototyping. Collecting performance data without physical prototyping allows the engineer to comfortably make the same critical value judgments for the features of the device and to produce a suitable design but in a fraction of the time and cost.

Simcenter MAGNET™ uses the finite element technique for an accurate and quick solution of Maxwell’s equations. It can simulate different types of electromagnetic and electric fields in both 2D and 3D.
