Coil Above A Crack (TEAM Problem 8)
In this example, MagNet is used to analyze a non-destructive testing (NDT) problem with eddy currents. The comparison between the experimental results of TEAM Problem 8 and the simulation results obtained from MagNet, demonstrates how our low frequency electromagnetics simulation software can be used to accurately deal with NDT problems.
Nondestructive Evaluation (TEAM Problem 15)
TEAM Problem 15 looks at the inversion of eddy-current data and the reconstruction of flaws in electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation (NDE). The model used is one of a circular coil moving along an aluminum plate that contains a slot. This gallery page demonstrates how MagNet can be used to calculate the resistance and inductance of the driving coil at various positions.
Eddy Current NDT and Deep Flaws (TEAM Problem 27)
The 3D Flaw model used in this example consists of a stationary coil over a sheet of aluminum that contains a screw hole. Inside of the screw hole, a flaw is to be detected by two Hall effect sensors, which are used to measure the horizontal differential flux density.MagNet's 3D Transient solver correctly models induced eddy currents inside the aluminum plate, after the current in the coil is turned off.
NEWS & EVENTS
UGM 2002 recap
We would like to thank all those who attended our User Group Meeting (UGM), especially those who took the time to make presentations. We appreciate the extra effort and always find it interesting to see how our software products are being used in the "real" world. The intent of the UGM is not only to showcase the latest enhancements of our software applications, but also to listen to our users' suggestions on how we can improve our products. Quite often, the dialogue during and after the presentations, provides insightful information that is used to seed our future developmental projects. Your active participation is always welcomed and is a key ingredient in making these meetings so successful. If you were unable to attend the UGM but would still like to view some of these presentations, please visit the section specifically created for UGM 2002, in our Online Customer Support Center (OCSC).
Training courses
The next MagNet 6 Training Course is scheduled for November 12-14, 2002. This course offers a fast way to become productive with one of the most powerful 2D and 3D software tools available for the Electromagnetics' designer.
PRODUCTS
