INTEGRATED's applications are moving more toward providing analysis from multiple solutions, such as transient analysis and time domain analysis.
For these types of applications, users will feel the need to define the kinds of calculation and output they want to see at each step before
generating the solutions. This will make generating useable results work more smoothly and quickly once the ...

In many reflector antenna applications, it is convenient to simulate the reflector system fed by a point
source whose far field radiation pattern is same as that of the actual feed used in the application.
Point sources with the user specified far zone E-field radiation patterns can be input as excitation
source in SINGULA. The E-field radiation pattern of the point source can be specified in any ...

The Transient Analysis mode available in ELECTRO, OERSTED, and KELVIN has the capability to create virtually any
desired time dependent source with a library of Standard signals, an algebraic Function editor, and the
ability to read in Tables from text files.

The question is often asked "Which is the better technology: Boundary Element Method or Finite Element Method?" The answer
to this question depends on the problem you are solving. For some problems, BEM has huge advantages over FEM and the
opposite can be said as well. The best way to look at this is to review both methods for electric, magnetic, and thermal
calculations.

In this benchmark example, we will study a hemi-spherical Luneberg-lens antenna with a finite ground plane. The Luneberg-lens antenna has many
advantages over the conventional parabolic antenna systems. Read More

As computer power continues to increase, and software algorithms advance, the demand for more complex simulations
continues to increase. The need to improve product reliability and reduce manufacturing costs is driving the demand
for accurate and complex simulations.

SINGULA can simulate large phased array antennas. These can be used for electronic steering of the beams.
Considering the mutual coupling between any two elements of the array, estimating the radiation characteristics
of the large arrays leads to very complex model. Read More

Models with a large number of elements produce very large matrices. The biggest single issue for the solution
time as models become very large is how efficiently the software and operating system are able to use memory required
for these matrices. Read More

In some passive microwave devices, ferrite cores are used to provide the rotation of the field required to achieve the
phase shifting that makes the device work. Devices such as circulators, isolators, gyrators and phase shifters work on
a range of frequencies based on the properties and size of the ferrite material and the size of the waveguide in which it is contained.

We are very proud to announce the release of a new version of our software, v7.0. We have accomplished a number
of new, great improvements and we would like to share them with you.
We want to make sure that you are aware of the many major and minor enhancements in our program, which now
includes: Read More

This benchmark combines a couple of simple well known cases to create a model with an analytic result,
yet which is challenging enough to distinguish the relative capabilities of different simulation software for
a class of real permanent magnet simulations.

One of the most important questions that are raised when using any analysis software is
"Do I have enough elements for an accurate solution?"
In addition to simplify the number of
elements on a model, it is useful to be able to concentrate the elements where the field
gradients are highest to ensure that computation is not wasted in regions where very little
is happening. To a large degree, the self-adaptive feature of Integrated solvers addresses
this question. Read More

In many AC coils conductor current density is not uniformly distributed because of
skin and proximity effects. OERSTED now provides users the ability to assign Eddy Current
Windings to accurately simulate these effects. Below we show the Eddy Current Windings submenu. Read More

For some applications, like induction heating, the current distribution within the
coils will be a function of time. These type of problems require a general time dependent
Eddy current solver. This feature will be available in the latest version of OERSTED V7.0 due
for release this month.
A variety of predefined wave forms are available such as sinusodial sources with a DC offset
and various square wave and triangular pulses. Like all new features, we expect significant
feedback from our customers to enhance this new class of problem that can now be solved.
