Solenoids

Solenoids are typically DC magnetic fields and rotational symmetric geometry, and are thus well suited to our CAE software MAGNETO™ for magnetic analysis. For cases with significant non-rotational symmetric effects, AMPERES™ should be used instead as simulation software.

MainSolenoids

If there are significant transient effects (e.g. due to motion of the plunger), then the simulation software to use are OERSTED™ (2D) and FARADAY™ (3D).

To model electric problems (e.g. potential for breakdown around the coils), then the simulation software to use are ELECTRO™ (2D) and COULOMB™ (3D).

For thermal simulation (e.g. finding hot spots), then the programs to use are KELVIN™ (2D/RS) and CELSIUS™ (3D).
