The Simcenter development team is pleased to announce the availability of Simcenter MAGNET 2020.2. This release added new features and important enhancements to share.

Firstly, there's the leveraging of new high performance computing capabilities. With it, simulations have gone from days to just hours or minutes to finish solving. Secondly, calculating magnetostrictive forces (which cause that hummmmmmm you hear around power transformers) has been added. Finally, improving the modeling capabilities of permanent magnets allow them to be defined as strong or weak. Let's dive deeper into all of this new stuff:


Electromagnetic simulations on a HPC cluster
Building simulation into the design process requires that the desired information is available when needed. Waiting for data is not always an option. And when it arrives too late, it can lead to costly and avoidable redesigns or failures.
Every type of simulation has its own rhyme and reason for being computationally intensive, which increases the solution latency. To clarify, in the realm of low frequency electromagnetics simulations, some common causes include:
- Large and highly detailed models, which require fine meshes. For example, power transformers or complex electromechanical systems
- Fault conditions
- Rotor eccentricity
- Magnetic levitation or arbitrary motion
- Force calculations for NVH analysis
Simcenter MAGNET has added new high performance computing capabilities (HPC) so that simulations can run across multiple processors on a cluster, which dramatically speeds up the simulation time compared to a single computer.
In short, this means low frequency electromagnetic simulation results are available in hours instead of weeks. Consequently, this speed up in solution time means you can discover insights earlier and bring electromagnetics into your Simcenter toolset of simulation driven design.



Electromagnetic simulations are time intensive. With Simcenter MAGNET 2020.2, simulations can run on HPC clusters. In this example, a large 3D electric motor transient with motion simulation went from over 5 days to just over 5 hours to complete, achieving over a 25x speed up .
