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.
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.
AC electromagnetic simulations are based on a single frequency, which reduces the simulation time. With this approach, you can simulate electromagnetic fields in and around current-carrying conductors, in the presence of isotropic materials that may be conducting, magnetic or both. This accounts for displacement currents, eddy-current and proximity effects, which are important in hotspot analysis.
The accuracy of low-frequency electromagnetic simulations is highly dependent on material data. Simcenter electromagnetic advanced material modeling accounts for nonlinearities, temperature dependencies, demagnetization of permanent magnets, hysteresis loss and anisotropic effects. This makes it possible to analyze effects such as demagnetization in permanent magnets to verify their service life, analyze frequency dependent losses in thin parts while reducing solution time, and account for all losses for an accurate energy balance.
The electromagnetic simulation of transient fields can include motion. It is possible to simulate rotational, linear and arbitrary motion with six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, Roll, Pitch and Yaw). This is available for an unlimited number of moving components, induced currents and mechanical interactions.
Permits the simulation of complex problems that involve time-varying arbitrary-shaped current or voltage sources and outputs with nonlinearity in materials and frequency-dependent effects. This includes oscillations in electromechanical devices, demagnetization in permanent magnets, switching effects, eddy-currents induced torque, skin and proximity effects. Furthermore, by using the Simcenter MAGNET thermal solver you can couple your thermal-electromagnetic in a co-simulation.
The thermal and electromagnetic modules of Simcenter MAGNET can be used to simulate steady-state and transient temperature distribution, considering losses in the windings as well as the core, including the eddy current and hysteresis losses. The Simcenter MAGNET thermal solver uses finite elements to quickly evaluate the thermal performance of your electric device.

Engineers, scientists or designers can simulate the real physics and complex systems which impacts the electromagnetic fields or electric fields and in turn, the predicted performance of a device or component.
The design of electric transformers, motors, inductors and other ferromagnetic-cored devices require accurate treatment of nonlinear effects, which also affect the accuracy of iron losses. Transient solvers that have significantly longer solution times, accurately handle nonlinear effects. Solution times, nonlinearity effects and losses are important in the design of large devices such as power transformers. Time-harmonic solvers balance the need of fast solution times and non-linear approximation.

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.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.
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.
The simulation and analysis of any electromagnetic device can be performed completely within the CAD program environment using this add-in. Infolytica Corporation is a certified solution partner of DSS SOLIDWORKS.
Efficient use of most electromagnetic devices require that they be influenced with a desired excitation. Most often the generation of this excitation requires the use of a circuit to control the specific characteristics, timing and overall profile.
The new release of MagNet lets the user add components and wire them together as needed to construct the circuit to drive their transformer, actuator, or other electromagnetic device. The supported components include voltage and current sources which provide energy to the circuit; resistors, capacitors, inductors, switches and diodes can be used to control the profile and timing. Voltage and current probes can be used to review the response of the circuit.
