New Capabilities For Electromagnetic Device Design


Ansoft Corp. recently released Maxwell® v12 and RMxprt™ v12. Maxwell electromagnetic field simulation software is used for the design and analysis of 2- and 3-D structures, such as motors, actuators, transformers, and other electric and electromechanical devices, while RMxprt is a specialized software program dedicated to the design of electric machines.

Maxwell v12 includes a new 3-D electric transient solver that works out time-varying electric fields due to a transient disturbance, such as lightning strikes on electrical equipment. The new version is also equipped with advanced model healing capabilities, which automatically identify and resolve potential problems with geometry imported from popular CAD systems, thus streamlining the solution process. The company’s desktop architecture has additionally been included with Maxwell 2-D solvers. This easy-to-use interface offers advanced 2-D modeling, scripting capability and improved post-processing.

RMxprt has been upgraded with the ability to solve three-phase non-salient synchronous machines, automated project setup for Maxwell and a new wire library, allowing motor designers to study the effects of various wire types of a design prior to physical prototype creation. Maxwell v12 and RMxprt v12 are available for Microsoft Windows® XP Professional, Server 2003 Standard Edition, XP Professional x64 Edition, Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition, Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3 (32- and 64-bit) and v4 (32- and 64-bit), SuSE Linux Enterprise Server v9 (32- and 64-bit), and Solaris versions 8, 9 and 10.
