New Features
Accelerated analysis for applications with large air flux leakage
- Faster and more accurate 3D magnetostatics analysis thanks to the implementation of new integral method. This is extremely interesting for applications with a lot of flux leakage in air, such as sensors modelling.
- No air mesh is required, dramatically reducing the computation time versus classical finite element method and offering much higher accuracy.
- Those newly integral methods are the result of a solver project developed in partnership with the internationally reputed G2Elab.
