Solenoid Optimization

The ultimate use of any design tool is to improve a design by minimizing cost, maximizing reliability and optimizing parameters, such as force or weight. The key to any simulation software is the ability to change a parameter and find its effect on the model.

INTEGRATED’s design software allows users to change parameters, such as dimensions and materials, and determine how they will affect the ultimate performance of the model. Easily, the user can modify the design by stretching, transforming or rotating parts of the geometry , among other functions. Built in parametric features, as found in INTEGRATED’s CAE software, allow the user to change models parametrically without learning a complicated scripting language.

Through INTEGRATED’s software, simulations that may require hundreds of solutions to find the optimal design can be achieved with a very small learning curve; geometric and physical parameters are readily changed through an intuitive interface which makes the old style of scripting obsolete.

This is an important feature for designers who may not use the simulation tool daily, as no relearning is required every time a solution to a new problem is needed.

• Very short learning curve; no scripting required
• Design optimization by parametric analysis
