Infolytica Releases MagNet v7.7

Infolytica has updated its MagNet and ThermNet software. This release, according to the company, has updates for accuracy and speed. This is credited to three developments.

First, MagNet v7.7 offers a new algorithm for Newton tolerance. 3D nonlinear magnetostatic and transient problems finish solving significantly faster than in MagNet v7.6. The solver tolerance can be set to extremely low values, which increases the accuracy of the solution while retaining a reasonable simulation time.

Second, algorithmic parallelism improvements in all 2D and 3D solvers has led to better performance on multicore platforms, resulting in faster simulations, Infolytica states.

Finally, the interpretation of the B-H curve has been improved, resulting in a more robust and faster simulation. There is a better handling of the Rayleigh region in relevant materials.

Ducts and spraying have been added to ThermNet, allowing for additional cooling options to be explored when simulating thermal aspects of electric motors.

The company has also added new libraries—Ferrite, NdFeB, SmCo and non-oriented steel materials—to its offerings.
