Software eases electromechanical design
Maxwell V12 includes a 3D electric transient solver that solves time-varying electric fields due to a transient disturbance, such as lightning strikes on electrical equipment.
Electromagnetic analysis software upgraded
Maxwell 3D electromagnetic analysis software is used to accurately predict the performance of low-frequency electromechanical components in automotive, aerospace and industrial systems.
Simplorer SV, originally created to give professors and students access to a professional-grade design tool, has become a popular method for industry engineers to evaluate Simplorer's capabilities and to solve small-scale problems.
More than 16,000 users have downloaded the free tool since its inception last March.
The new version integrates VHDL-AMS, a standard modelling language for analogue mixed-signal design, within Simplorer's popular graphical user environment.
Users can now perform simulations using VHDL-AMS alone or in combination with circuits, block diagrams, state machines, and Simplorer's other modelling languages.
Ansoft also has added DC and AC analysis capabilities to the software, making Simplorer an attractive alternative to Spice simulation.
"Multidomain and mixed-signal design have become increasingly important as the automotive, aerospace, and electric-drive industries race to deliver electrically enhanced products", said Uwe Knorr, Product Marketing Director at Ansoft.
"Simplorer SV allows engineers to easily explore the power of Ansoft's integrated design solutions and helps students gain marketable skills in this emerging industry".
Simplorer SV version 6.0, available for download from the Ansoft website, has all the basic features of the commercially available version but on a smaller scale.
The new version includes an open AMS and VHDL basic components library within an easy-to-use Windows environment for electrical, control, power electronics, drives and related engineering disciplines.
Simplorer SV does not require activation or licensing and is ready to use after the installation process.
Please note that Ansoft does not provide technical support for free software.
