Dynamic advances in electromagnetics simulation
The latest version of the MagNet 6 electromagnetics simulation package from Infolytica features a full motion-solving capability for translationally symmetric and axisymmetric devices.
Solve thermal problems with dedicated software
ThermNet is designed to solve thermal problems involving conduction, convection, and radiation, and allows 2D problems (XY and RZ) to be described and steady state and transient analyses performed
Additionally, a new version of the design optimisation package OptiNet is available for use with any of these new releases.
These new versions also bring significant benefits in solution speed.
First, the new 32bit versions are between 1.2 and 2 times faster than their corresponding previous releases, and secondly, the 64bit solvers are up to 30% faster than the corresponding 32bit solvers.
Also, the advanced memory management capabilities of Infolytica software give additional benefits.
The efficient solvers require reduced resources, increasing the size of problem which can be solved within the 32bit limits, as well as reducing the resources required when problem size dictates that 64bit solvers must be used.
Some idea of the performance improvement to be expected from the 64bit releases can be gained from the respective memory capabilities of corresponding operating systems.
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition supports 128Gbyte of RAM and 16Tbyte of virtual memory address space, as compared with 4Gbyte of both physical RAM and virtual memory address space for 32bit Windows XP Professional.
So, for all practical purposes, the size of engineering-design model capable of being simulated using the 64bit PC Infolytica software is unlimited.
