MagNet Solvers Modules

Static 2D/3D Time Harmonic 2D/3D Transient 2D/3D Transient with Motion 2D/3D

Computes the static field in and around specified DC current distributions and permanent magnets

Eddy currents are not taken into account

Computes the quasi-static time harmonic field in and around sinusoidal current-carrying conductors

Analysis performed at a single frequency in the complex domain

Phase difference effects caused by induced eddy-currents are taken into account

Computes the quasi-static time varying magnetic field in and around current-carrying conductors

Time lag effects between the fields and the sources caused by induced eddy-currents are taken into account

Uses second-order time stepping from instant to instant

Computes induced currents due to motional effects and allows for coupling with other mechanical components

Supports multiple degrees of freedom

Supports multiple motion components


Geometric Modeler Material Modeler Scripting
  • Supports 3D solid modeling construction of components
  • Users can build a library of components to reuse in multiple designs
  • Multi-Sweep function makes creating complex geometries painless
  • Full Boolean operations (union, subtracting and slicing) for 3D solid modeling
  • Easy importing and exporting of SAT and DXF files
  • Optional modules for CATIA, STEP, IGES, Pro/E and Inventor file Import/Export
  • Includes Infolytica's default library of materials for use as a permanent reference
  • Materials are stored with the model to simplify design sharing
  • Create user-defined materials(both editable and read-only) by inputting the following parameters:
    Magnetic PermeabilityElectric Permittivity
    Magnetic lossesThermal Conductivity
    Electric Conductivity ResistivityMass Density
    Specific Heat Capacity
  • Based on Microsoft's ActiveX™ technology, users can automate repetitive tasks and customize settings
  • Write script files from scratch or use our Script Recording Tool
  • Interoperability allows for communication with other software applications such as:
    • Linking to a spreadsheet program for further post-processing computations
    • Transfer of data to other simulation tools for multiphysics analysis


Meshing and Adaption Boundary Conditions Parameterization
  • Supports both automatic and user defined mesh generations
  • Adaption tools to automatically identify the areas where the mesh needs improvement or refinement
  • Skin depth analysis and highly anisotropic volume elements for fine meshes
  • Users can choose which boundary condition for unknown field behavior is best suited for their model
  • Boundary conditions can also reduce simulation latency for symmetrical structures
  • Perform multiple numerical experiments on a given model painlessly by allowing materials, geometry, boundary conditions and more to be varied through a user defined range of values (both numeric and algebraic)

Our Support Commitment

  • Online documentation and support center with free add-ons, sample scripts, tutorials and more
  • Frequent updates to MagNet during the year to ensure we remain the leader in electromagnetic field simulations
  • Experienced support staff, available by phone and email, will help you get the most out of MagNet

System Requirements

MagNet is built exclusively for the Microsoft® Windows operating system.

MagNet supports both the 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows with the same solvers, features and updates.

The 64-bit version of MagNet takes full advantage of the high-performance computational power available with either the AMD64 or the Intel EM64T platforms, offering users an increase in both efficiency and capacity.
