New angles to electromagnetic design
software
Infolytica has introduced the RIM Design Assistant, which runs a linked analysis of a 3-phase rotary induction motor, and the Trajectory Evaluator Assistant for particle study
Infolytica has introduced a new service to speed up the supply of software to potential new users of its electromagnetics, electrostatics, and thermal design software The previous delays while software was packaged and delivered have been eliminated
The new procedure simply requires the use of a unique login name and password, supplied by the company, to access the new Evaluation Center on the company's web site, where software may be downloaded for immediate use.
The new procedure also includes the supply of tutorial material with advice on its use, and contact details for technical assistance.
This augments the existing Support Center used in a similar way by supported clients to immediately download software upgrades.
These are released on a regular basis as part of the continuous program of software development.
Two new products have been released for specific applications, packaged as easy-to-use wizards.
These are the RIM Design Assistant, and the Trajectory Evaluator Assistant.
The RIM Design Assistant exploits the Microsoft automation interface to run a linked analysis of a 3-phase rotary induction motor using the Infolytica MagNet package and Microsoft Excel.
The user enters the geometric and electrical specification of the motor by entering data in dialog boxes.
The electromagnetic solution obtained from MagNet is then processed to calculate the performance parameters, which are written to an Excel spreadsheet file The Trajectory Evaluator Assistant permits the user to simulate the trajectory of a single particle over time in a 3D magnetic or electric field.
Typical applications include CRT's, acceleration systems, ion traps, and electron microscopes.
The output includes the position, velocity, and acceleration variation with time, available both as a text file, which may be imported into other applications, and graphically for viewing from within the Infolytica package.
Infolytica is an Agent for the UK, Ireland, parts of Europe, India, Korea, and beyond, for the latest distributors' Windows versions of the motor design software from the SPEED laboratory at the University of Glasgow.
Infolytica has now released a script form to import a SPEED motor model into MagNet, for subsequent field analysis.
The SPEED programs (covering brushed and brushless dc machines, switched reluctance and induction motors) can save geometric, material, and excitation data in a gdf file.
The user just enters the name of the gdf file, and a file name for saving the model in MagNet, in dialog boxes and clicks a button for the conversion to be performed automatically.
To accompany the announcement of the SPEED-MagNet link, it is pleasing to be able to report a global reduction is SPEED software prices.
A new bundled offer of all four programs with non-concurrent usage is now available at an exceptionally low price.
One can never have too much tutorial material.
To this end, the Learning Center has also opened on the company web-site, containing material developed using Infolytica software for education.
We are pleased to report that the first contributions to be placed here are from our consultant, Dr J D Edwards, based on his electromagnetics lectures at the University of Sussex, UK.
We look forward to receiving further material from other Users for inclusion in this section, on a regular basis.
