AMPERES, a three-dimensional magnetic field solver from Integrated Engineering Software delivers superior design capabilities in one fully integrated package. AMPERES greatly expands your design potential and allows you to simulate and optimize electromagnetic components and systems before manufacturing. Avoid building multiple prototypes, lower your development costs and times and reach the market faster than ever before. Select the best analysis method for your application; AMPERES provides both Finite Element Method (FEM) and Boundary Element Method (BEM) solvers, and includes full parallel processing as well as Application Programming Interface (API) capability.

Fast and accurate, AMPERES calculates force, torque, flux linkage and inductance.

Key Features

·        Magnetic 3D field solver for a diverse range of applications.

·        At no extra cost, our software packages include:

·        Choice of solvers: To ensure you have confidence in the solution and for independent verification, both BEM and FEM methods are included in the same software package to suit your specific application needs. Not every solver fits every application, no “one size fits all”.

·        Choice of optimization tools: Parametric Analysis for those who need fast and easy optimization with a short learning curve. API and Scripting give more power to advanced users. Both tools are available in the same package.

·        Built-in material libraries: Customize and create your own library for easy access to the materials you use.

·        Integration with MATLAB?: Users’ MATLAB code can include function calls to the INTEGRATED API to build geometry, assign physical parameters, solve, and obtain results.

·        Parallelization: When used on 64-bit computers, this permits full utilization of the available RAM to dramatically increase speed of solution and post-processing.

·        Intuitive interface that can be easily customized according to user preferences (overall appearance, toolbars, solvers, backgrounds, defaults, etc).

Analysis

·        Static and phasor analysis modes

·        Simulation of lossy magnetic materials

·        Force, torque, flux linkage and inductance calculations

·        Coils and windings are easily defined given a winding diagram

·        Simulation of nonlinear ferromagnetic problems

·        Permanent magnet materials

·        Parametrics and batch functions allow for unattended solution of multiple files

·        Coils & Windings editor

Solvers and Meshing

·        INTEGRATED includes the most appropriate solvers for every kind of application.

·        Both BEM and FEM solvers are included in the same software package, at no extra cost, to suit your specific application needs.

·        Auto solver will choose FEM or BEM based on the general nature of a model (either can still be manually selected).

·        Self-adaptive meshing and optional user refinement.

·        User assigned weighting factors: Inform the solver of areas that interest you so the that the local results are refined.

·        Periodic and symmetry features minimize modeling and solution time.

Optimization

·        At no extra cost, INTEGRATED includes a variety of optimization tools in the same software package so that you can find one that best suits your particular design: Parametric Analysis, Scripting and API. Parametric Analysis works best for those who need fast and easy optimization with a short learning curve while API and scripting give more power to advanced users.

·         

·        The parametric feature allows a definition of variable parameters to be stepped through for the analysis of multiple “what-if” scenarios and facilitating design optimization.

·        Scripting: Virtually unlimited ability to explore design variations.

API

·        Create your own applications: Write your own dedicated tools for specific tasks. Users can program and have full control of their custom electromagnetic application, while using INTEGRATED programs in the background.

·        INTEGRATED’s API allows a variety of programs such as MATLAB, Excel, and Microsoft Visual Studio to work with our software in an interconnected environment. Other software tools can be used with our API in the same way.

·        Add-on utility tools: Select among our custom mini-programs to enhance your design capabilities.

·        Users with programming and/or scripting skills will find this is a very powerful tool.

Materials Table

·        Several material tables provide many integrated libraries. Customize and create your own library for easy access to the materials you use.

Analyzing Your Results

·        Audiovisual (AVI) files allow you to show the results in an animation.

·        A variety of display forms for plotting results, including scalar and vector field quantities such as graphs, contour, arrow, streamline, scatter and vector loci plots.

·        High quality graphics and text utility for preparation of reports and presentations.

·        Data exportable to formatted files for integration with spreadsheets and other software packages.

·        Wide array of post processing options for design evaluation and optimization.

·        Efficient use of parallel processing for post-processing operations.

·        A variety of display forms including contour or arrow plots, color bands, surface representations, polar, rectangular plots and patterns.
