Design ExamplesQuadrupole Ion Trap using ElecNet Using ElecNet, Infolytica’s electric field simulation software, it is possible to track the trajectories of charged particles in a Quadrupole Ion Trap. More> Simulation of an Electrostatic Precipitator  The precipitator consists of an inlet-outlet casing through which gas flows into an area where a series of particulate collection sheets are placed. ElecNet is used to track the path of charged particles. More> . Electric Field Transient Analysis of a Conductive Shield  Transient phenomena may be present in many devices containing components that are kept at a fixed voltage. Before steady state is reached, it may be necessary to model and understand the nature of the transients. Using ElecNet, it is possible to model and capture this phenomenon. Here, using a three dimensional, axis-symmetric model of a conductive shield, the transient aspect of the device is captured. More> .back to top New Case Study on Switched Reluctance Motors Now Available for Download This case study examines how MagNet and OptiNet can automate the process of SRM design, based on a number of recent CAD algorithms for SRMs. This leads to a design process in which many of the drawbacks associated with conventional approaches are eliminated and the computational cost of the design cycle is reduced.  The case study is based on a 8/6
SRM. As a starting point, we use the performance requirements (the
required power output, peak currents, base speed, geometrical/material
restrictions) of the machine. A series of steps are then followed to
obtain a viable design of a SRM.Download the SRM Case Study (PDF document)> back to top Documentation Center: Updated Guidelines for Modeling Thin Regions Thin regions are commonly used when modeling the skin depth in a conductor, and are frequently encountered in machine modeling where the space between the rotor and the stator – the so-called air gap – is made very small. Since the fields exhibit strong variations across the air gap, air components are commonly inserted in order to subdivide the air gap into even thinner regions and allow better control over its mesh density.

The goal is to impart a greater understanding of how to use the software efficiently and effectively. Participants are introduced to the fundamental features of MagNet, optimum problem solving approaches and techniques on how to avoid common pitfalls.

The design process presented here is demonstrated for the case of an 8/6 SRM and the results are compared with those from an industrial 8/6 SRM.
