| DS | Static/Dynamic Structural (2D/3D) Analyzes mechanical aspects, such as stress and deformation, of machines and devices. Also calculates sound pressure. Enables the electromagnetic force calculated by the magnetic and electric solvers and thermal load by the thermal solver to be applied to the structural analysis model. |
stress, displacement, acceleration, sound pressure |
| EL | Electrostatic and time harmonic electric (3D) Evaluates the capacitance of devices and insulation effects as well as current distribution for conductors. Also, calculates materials with non-linear permittivity and conductivity, in addition to lossy dielectric materials. |
electric field, charge distribution, current distribution, electric force, loss |
| CB | Magnetic field calculation Enables the magnetic flux and electric field distribution in air regions to be obtained with a high resolution. An integral method employed allows the accuracy to remain unaffected by the mesh in the air. Useful for applications requiring accurate field distributions, such as sensors. Required module (/:or): ST/FQ/TR/DP/EL |
