Introduction

Reducing design costs and development times is an ever-increasing challenge. FARADAY™, a 3D time-harmonic eddy current field solver from INTEGRATED Engineering Software gives you the advantage you need to meet this challenge head on. Using our innovative Boundary Element Method (BEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) technologies, FARADAY™ is the only clear choice for applications requiring large open region analysis, exact modeling of boundaries and problems where dealing with small skin depths is critical.

Fast and accurate, FARADAY™ calculates force, torque, displacement current, flux linkage, induced voltage, power, and impedance.

Features

  • Simulation of time dependent eddy current field simulated directly with the FARADAY Transient Solver.
  • Translational and rotational motion induced eddy current field can be solved with the finite element method as well.
  • Coupling to Celsius for thermal analysis
  • Intuitive Coils and Windings editor
  • Simulation of impressed currents and assigned voltage conditions
  • Transient, phasor and static analysis modes
  • Periodic and symmetry features to minimize modeling and solution time
  • Analysis of force, torque, flux linkage, power and impedance parameters
  • Analysis of current density in conductors due to skin effects
  • Powerful parametric feature which allows definition of variable parameters to be stepped through allowing the analysis of multiple “what-if” scenarios and facilitating design optimization
  • A wide array of post-processing options for design evaluation and optimization
  • Self-adaptative meshing or optional user refinement

“I wanted to let you know that I have just performed a ‘short’ run of 30 hours on a 3D BEM problem that contained 98,730 unknowns using 76,688 2D boundary elements. The problem size was 219 GBs. I am quite impressed with the time FARADAY™ took for solving such a large problem. This would have taken 30 days plus with my old system.”

“At EFACEC, innovation is in our DNA. For over 26 years, we’ve trusted INTEGRATED Engineering Software to transform our design process. The powerful suite—including ELECTRO, FARADAY, INDUCTO 3D, and COULOMB—has enabled our team to build precise virtual prototypes, fine-tune critical parameters, and eliminate costly errors before production begins. Their bespoke Partial Inception dialog feature, developed in response to our unique challenges with transformer insulation design, has been a game-changer. It empowers us to simulate dielectric tests and validate our designs with unparalleled accuracy, ensuring each transformer meets our rigorous standards. With INTEGRATED’s flexible and advanced simulation tools, we not only accelerate our design lifecycle but also maintain a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving market.”

“Your thorough understanding of FARADAY™ and your ability to communicate down to our level was very much appreciated.”
