The COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software environment facilitates all steps in the modeling process − defining your geometry, meshing, specifying your physics, solving, and then visualizing your results. Model set-up is quick, thanks to a number of predefined physics interfaces for applications ranging from fluid flow and heat transfer to structural mechanics and electromagnetic analyses. Material properties, source terms and boundary conditions can all be arbitrary functions of the dependent variables. Predefined multiphysics-application templates solve many common problem types. You also have the option of choosing different physics and defining the interdependencies yourself. Or you can specify your own partial differential equations (PDEs) and link them with other equations and physic Unpack&Install 2. Read .txt from /MAGNiTUDE dir 3.

The design of magnetic components, such as transformers and inductors, has critical influence on the size, performance, cost, and efficiency of power converters and their associated integrated systems. Traditionally, companies have relied on cycles of design-build-test methodologies and engineers with years of experience from trial and error. PExprt not only aids the engineer in the design of these magnetic components, but also offers users the ability to see the effects of their designs (such as how different winding strategies affect the leakage inductance and inter winding capacitance). The user can evaluate the magnetic components in Maxwell® and view such things as flux or current density to evaluate leakage inductance or if the design will heat up due to proximity effects...

Fatigue occurs over time as materials within a product are stressed by repeated usage. Engineering simulation analysis using ANSYS nCode DesignLife technology helps product developers avoid such in-field failures along with resulting warranty problems and costs. Advanced fatigue analysis capabilities of nCode DesignLife, a leading durability software from HBM used by OEMs and their suppliers around the world, has been fully integrated into the ANSYS Workbench environment. Using ANSYS nCode DesignLife, mechanical engineers can address complex product life and durability issues, all before a prototype is ever built. The combination of the ANSYS Workbench platform and nCode DesignLife technology creates a simulation environment in which fatigue analysis can easily be added, using a standard drag-and-drop interface, to the structural mechanics...
