Magnetic forces generate heat and mechanical deformation. Top-tier software links magnetic solvers with thermal and structural analysis engines. Solvers also map the sensitivity and linearity of

Unmatched industry standard for electric machine design and low-frequency electromagnetic field simulation.

Designing enclosures to shield sensitive electronics from stray magnetic fields requires precise non-linear material modeling. Solvers also map the sensitivity and linearity of Hall Effect, AMR, and GMR sensors.
