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.
