| QuickField : General |
With the advent of QuickField™ software, you can use a powerful software at a competitive cost. QuickField™ is a finite element calculation software to solve many linear or non-linear problems in electromagnetism. The official QuickField™ website is : www.quickfield.com

DC magnetics
analysis is used in the case of analysis of magnetic fields created
by magnetic materials or caused by constant currents.
AC magnetics
frequency analysis is used to analyze magnetic fields created by sinusoidal currents
and vice versa, electric currents induced by sinusoidal magnetic fields.
Transient magnetics
analysis allows the analysis of events due to transient currents or magnetic fields :
inrush current, pulsed magnetic fields
Electrostatics
is used for the design or analysis of systems using dielectrics.
DC Conduction
analysis is used for the design of systems in steady state whose calculated quantities
are voltages, current densities, Joule losses.
AC Conduction
analysis is used to analyze electric fields created by sinusoidal voltages.
The dielectric material is assumed to be non-ideal with low, but not equal to zero, conductivity.
Transient Electric
analysis is a generalization of electrostatic and conduction analyses :
the potential of an electrode or a current density can be an arbitrary function of time.
Static Heat Transfer
analysis plays an important role in the design of mechanical and electrical assemblies.
Transient Heat Transfer
analysis takes up the previous characteristics by taking into account time-dependent events
introducing the notions of specific heat and density of materials.
Linear Stress
analysis (resistance of materials) is used to verify acceptable mechanical stresses in traction,
compression and displacement.
QuickField™ simultaneously supports finite element analysis and calculation of currents and voltages with an electrical schematics. The circuit editor allows you to describe an electrical circuit connected to the blocks (conductor, phase, coil, ...) present in the geometry of the problem. The use of electrical circuit applies to AC magnetics and Transient magnetics modules.
The search for optimal design is not just about optimizing a single feature.
QuickField™
allows you to import results (thermal or mechanical from DC, AC or Transient modules)
calculated in other problems. It is thus possible to study the consequences of external
(the ambient conditions) and internal (Joule effect) heating of a winding.
QuickField™
supports for each material, the dependence of electrical conductivity as a function of temperature for the
AC magnetics
module where it is possible to import a temperature field, the conductivity will vary accordingly.
QuickField™
allows the import of the non-linear state (saturation and non-saturation) of the calculation of
the magnetic field from the
DC magnetics
module to the
DC magnetics
and
AC magnetics
modules.
It is possible to "program" QuickField™ , providing additional efficiency in designing electro-mechanical appliances. There are 4 main levels of programming :
