Raptor chess interface alternatives for mac. Jul 23, 2020 Download MaxFEM for free. Software for electromagnetic simulation. MaxFem is an open software package for electromagnetic simulation by using finite element methods. The package can solve problems in electrostatics, direct current, magnetostatics and eddy-currents. Electromagnetic Simulation Software Solution. EMS is a 3D electromagnetic simulation software suite, based on the powerful finite element method. Currently, it is the only electromagnetic simulation add-in to SOLIDWORKS, the number one CAD software package in the electrical engineering industry.
Features
MagNet offers both 2D and 3D electromagnetic field simulations, all within the same user friendly interface:
- Magnetostatic
- Frequency dependent (AC)
- Time varying, including the effects of moving components
They can be linked to ThermNet for coupled thermal-electromagnetic field simulations.
View the complete list of features detail all of the solvers, results and tools included in MagNet to help you save time on each design cycle.
Recent Improvements
- New coil definition tool which detects current path and direction
