Magnetica Features

Easy to Use and Learn

  1. Intuitive approach to magnetism based on a small set of magnetic components that requires entering only a limited number of data.
  2. Powerful and simple functions for field calculation and field maps. 
  3. Almost no knowledge of Mathematica is required for a regular use of Magnetica. You can start right away using the large collection of application cases. 
  4. With built-in palettes, there is no need to retain function syntax. All functions, materials and components can be entered by mouse click. 
  5. The syntax is checked and user-friendly messages guide you to correct any mistake. 
  6. Extensive on-line documentation, including a User Book and a Reference Guide

Customizable Magnetic Systems and Components

  1. Magnetic systems defined either as cylindrical 2D axis-symmetric or 3D cartesian (N.B presently restricted to the 2D axis symmetric the 3D cartesian version will be soon available).
  2. Systems made of any number of different types of components: electric current-carrying devices, structural solid of magnetic materials (diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic with reversible or permanent magnetization), large source magnetic fields.
  3. Components shape as lines, cylindrical or rectangular bars or rings, rectangles, cubes.
  4. Component position and orientation totally free.

Versatile and Efficient Magnetic Field Calculation Tool

  1. Extensive definition of "field" as 2D or 3D magnetic field vector and its magnitude, vector potential and flux, magnetic field gradient
  2. Field calculation using 2 different methods: either from the vector potential approach or using the scalar potential approach via the spherical harmonics 
  3. Field rendering as numerical values with verbose or reusable output for further calculation 
  4. Field map graphics as 2D curves or 3D field maps, contour maps and vector field maps, magnetic field lines and iso-magnetic field lines.

Useful and Powerful Tool for then Analysis and Design of Electromagnetic Devices

  1. Extended calculation of inductance and associated functions: self-inductance, mutual inductance, flux, magnetic energy 
  2. Calculation of the magnetic coupling parameters and exhaustive analysis of the working transformer 
  3. Calculation of the electromagnetic forces as well as the resulting stress / strain. 
  4. Optimization of complex magnetic systems for multiple and diversified objective criteria : (magnitude and quality of the field, mass of material, electrical power.

Materials properties Used in Components Well-specified and Easy to Handle

  1. Extensive build-in of typical materials with their own names 
  2. Versatile palette to learn which materials and what properties 
  3. Precise mathematical modeling for non-linear ferro-magnetic materials 
  4. Property rendering via tables and graphics
