Latest releases give preview of the 64-bit versions coming this fall
The latest 32-bit versions of MagNet 6.20, ElecNet 6.12, and ThermNet 1.10 have just been released, with the 64-bit versions soon to follow. The increase in speed (from 1.1 to 2.5 times faster) and sizeable memory allocations (from 1.2 to 2.0 times larger) in our 32-bit versions was so substantial that we decided to release the products, before the 64-bit versions were made available, so that users and evaluators could experience for themselves the vast improvements we've made to the software. Users familiar with our applications already know that we have the fastest products in the electromagnetics simulation software industry, but to push the boundaries as we have here is unheard of. The migration to Microsoft's Windows® XP Professional x64 platform presented a tremendous opportunity for Infolytica to update the architecture of our systems, and the work performed up to now has resulted in the changes that are so evident, even in the 32-bit versions. Therefore, even if you have no immediate plans to move to a 64-bit platform, you will still be able to benefit greatly from these updates, now and in the future. More information is available in the News Release "Migration towards a 64-bit environment..."

Brushless DC Motor in Motion with Temperature Effects
The goal of this coupled analysis, using MagNet's and ThermNet's 3D transient solvers, is to predict the steady-state temperature of the motor and its impact on the performance, due to the degraded magnetic properties of the permanent magnets in the rotor. A 3D transient magnetic analysis is used to calculate the steady-state ohmic and core losses, and a 3D transient thermal analysis to estimate the temperature distribution during the first few hours of operation.Disk Induction Machine
View the capabilities of the MagNet's 3D Transient with Motion solver in a unique and truly 3D machine--an axial flux disk induction machine. In this example, the flux flows parallel to the axis of the rotor and currents are induced in a flat disc-shaped aluminum rotor element. The 3D Transient with Motion solver was used to model both a run-up to synchronous speed and to create a torque-speed curve.Power Transformer under Short-circuit condition
This model is a three-phase shell type 50kVA 20kV/380V distribution transformer. The transformer is of the Wescor type and includes four core sections and three pairs of windings corresponding to the three phases.
This announcement is offered as a way to inform the Electromagnetic community of the many efforts Infolytica is making to provide state-of-the-art advances in this field.
