Issue #47 - June 25, 2008
In this issue:
New ElecNet v6.18 with non-uniform voltage distribution

Using a perfectly uniform voltage distribution can be a significant source of error for simulating performance in devices such as large power transformers. In other cases like the foils in an electrical bushing, the modeling process can be simplified by setting a non-uniform voltage instead of creating each foil separately (see below).

To accurately represent the operating conditions of devices such as larger scale power transformers or electrical bushings, ElecNet 6.18 allows for electrodes to be excited with a non-uniform voltage distribution, accounting for the variations typically observed in these devices.

Streamline Generator for ElecNet

ElecNet users should install the updated Extensions Pack included with v6.18 which features the new Streamline Generator. Streamlines expand on the current post-processing tools to include creating charts of the V and |E| fields along a streamline or where values of maximum |E| or |J| occur.

New ThermNet v1.16 and MagNet v6.26.1 now available

ThermNet v1.16 supports coupling with MagNet's new core loss calculation method which computes the hysteresis plus the anomalous and eddy current losses in the lamination.

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.

To request a full featured evaluation copy of MagNet or ThermNet, please contact your nearest Infolytica Corporation representative.

What’s New in the Documentation Center:
Revised motion meshing guidelines

Updated guidelines have been published to help users optimize their MagNet 2D or 3D models for the re-meshing operation which occurs in any motion solve. New Motions guidelines have been published

Following the preferred approach can significantly reduce overall solution time or help even experienced users setup complex motion components with greater ease.

The Documentation Center is available to all evaluators and maintained clients. It is updated regularly by Infolytica Customer Support Staff.

Register for the next MagNet training course 

Register today - there is limited space available in our next MagNet training course, which will be held August 12-14, 2008 at our North American HQ in Montreal, QC.

This three day course covers the basic skills required for new users to properly construct, simulate and analyze a device or component model with MagNet. 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
