Introduction
AMPERES™ is INTEGRATED’s powerful three-dimensional magnetic field solver offering superior design capabilities in one fully integrated package. AMPERES™ greatly expands design potential and allows you to simulate and optimize electromagnetic components and systems before the manufacturing stage. Avoid building multiple prototypes. Lower your development costs and times. 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.
Features
AMPERES™ comes complete and ready to use. Purchase of additional modules or options is not needed.
AMPERES™ is a fully functional CAE tool. A partial list of AMPERES’ standard features includes:
- Latest innovation “Coils and Windings” editor to analyze large number of coils/rotational transients or highly nonlinear switching sources and loads
- An Intuitive and structured interface which maximizes productivity for experts and beginnersStatic, phasor and transient analysis modes
- Static and phasor analysis modes
- Simulation of non-linear ferromagnetic and permanent magnet materials
- Simulation of lossy magnetic materials
- Force, torque, flux linkage and inductance calculation
- Periodic and symmetry features to minimize modeling and solution time
- A variety of display forms for plotting scalar and vector field quantities including graphs, contour plots, arrow plots, profile plots and vector loci plots
- High quality 3D graphics and text utility for preparation of reports and presentations
- Data exportable to formatted files for integration with spreadsheets and other software packages
- Batch Processing that allows unattended solution of multiple files
- Powerful parametric feature which allows definition of variable parameters to be stepped through for the analysis of multiple “what if” scenarios, facilitating design optimization
- A wide array of post-processing options for design evaluation and optimization
- Self-adaptative meshing or optional user refinement
- CAD healing utilities for automatic correction of drafting errors
- Large library of permanent magnet and ferromagnetic materials to which additional materials can be easily added
