Introduction

The electromagnetic solution is used to analyze low frequency electromagnetic problems that are widely being used across multiple industry verticals today. The electromagnetic solver accurately captures the complexity of electromechanical equipment to optimize their performance, efficiency, dimensions, cost or weight with precision, bringing better innovation and value products to end users. The electromagnetic solver currently supports magnetostatic and transient conditions.

A wide variety of physics is currently supported to analyze various electromagnetic applications that are currently being investigated by the industry. These include electrostatics, magnetostatics and transient magnetics. Most of these physics are supported for various problem dimensions such as 2D, 3D and axisymmetric cases. Various features like a fully parametric 2D sketcher, circuit designer / circuit catalog, dedicated meshing tools, motion support etc. have been developed to help the user quickly and efficiently setup their EM workflows. A powerful electromagnetic solver coupled with efficient automation, an intuitive interface and multiple multiphysics capabilities will enable our users to design better and more efficient products.

User must select the appropriate physics in the solution panel. Accordingly, boundary conditions, solution parameters, material creation and assignment will be automatically setup to run an electromagnetic solution, launch the solver and visualize the results.

Note: Note that users can export the model anytime to the native Flux solver for a more detailed analysis.

Solution type

Seven different solution types are currently supported inside SimLab. Each solution and its corresponding solution options are listed below. Note that for each solution the user has to select mesh bodies in accordance with the solution dimension (2D or 3D).

Solution conversion

It is possible to convert a solution to another solution within the same Domain (2D/Axisymmetric/3D). The associated physics (Loads and Constraints, Circuit, Material) relevant to the new solution are kept or converted after the solution conversion.

The new solution must be checked and completed before solving.

The solution conversion is available by right-click on the solution Type:



CAUTION: It is possible to duplicate a solution before the conversion to keep both solutions except when the solution is CAD based. In this case, the workaround is to Save As the database to have one solution per database.
