Designers of Switched Reluctance and Induction Machines have a practically effortless way to design any basic to complex device they can conceive for extensive study in MagNet. 

The newly released MotorSolve IM and MotorSolve SRM offer a modern and intuitive template-based interface that presents a substantial amount of  information in a straightforward manner, unburdening the user from the software experience and focusing strictly on the design process.

Improved core loss now available in MagNet and MotorSolve BLDC

The new core loss calculation method computes the hysteresis plus the anomalous and eddy current losses in the lamination and presents them to the user as two separate fields. In a simulation, the new core loss calculation method for eddy currents takes different harmonics into account and, for hysteresis loss, it takes into account the minor loops.

Strategic partnership with Baoding Tianwei Group

                         

In 2007, Infolytica Corporation and Hi-Key Technology entered a strategic partnership with Baoding Tianwei Group. The agreement was made official at a ceremony held onsite at the Electromagnetics Lab of the Tianwei Group in Baoding City, Hebei province. The cooperative effort will focus on technical issues, particularly an exchange of knowledge and expertise.

Design Examples

Iron loss trends in a high-torque BLDC motor with respect to electrical loading, drive types and rotor back Iron depth are computed.

Novel approaches for computing iron losses have been implemented in the latest release of MagNet. The new techniques allow the user to separate the loss sources at the component level. Using an IPM motor, this novel approach is introduced and demonstrated.

Skin Depth Simulator

Now available in the Documentaion Center is the Skin Depth Simulator which automatically simulates the actual skin depth d for a linear or nonlinear permeable material.
