Tiny stroke from piezo actuators
Cedrat's APAs, or Amplified Piezo Actuators, have a contraction is proportional to the applied voltage, up to 1% at 200V.
Program dedicated to optimisation of motor cooling
Motor-CAD, the worlds first software package dedicated to the optimisation of motor cooling, is now available through Cedrat, which produces the electromagnetic software packages, Flux-2d and Flux-3d
These include: sophisticated parameter controls for all useful quantities (geometry, mesh, materials, electrical inputs); cosimulation with Matlab/Simulink; solid body motion coupling for either linear or rotational displacements in 2D and 3D; and external circuit and drive connection for all conductors.
The new version, Flux 9.1, features a very user-friendly and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), claimed to dramatically reduce the learning curve for users.
Also, to enhance the usability of its flagship solution, Cedrat has developed powerful tools to communicate with other major CAE software packages, and many CAE files may be used directly in Flux.
This enhanced communication is accompanied by a new mesh generator for complex shapes and by new tools to correct and simplify CAE files.
Several technology enhancements accompany this intuitive GUI.
Formerly considered a very difficult task, the computation of iron losses is now available in Flux 9.1 for both 2D and 3D simulations.
Moreover, responding to the market's expectation, it is now possible to model skewed-slot rotating machines as well as pivotal actuators.
According to Xavier Brunotte, Cedrat's Technical Manager: "Those technology enhancements complete perfectly a software solution that is already leader for the electromagnetic and electromechanical simulations".
"The new interface and CAE import tools give the user the opportunity to easily seize the simulation power of Flux and concentrate on its application to optimise its device or process without difficulties".
