Field Precision Releases New Software Line: 3D FEM Simulations on a Budget


Short Description
Field Precision has released a new line of low-cost 3D finite-element programs for small businesses and universities. Application areas include electromagnetic fields, particles accelerators and X-ray imaging.

Body
When considering 3D software for electromagnetic fields and X-ray technology, many technical managers envision high costs, high manpower requirements, restrictive licenses and run times extending over several days. Field Precision has broken this mold with revolutionary new software suites that put 3D calculations within the reach of small businesses, consultants and universities. The company's Basic packages run on 32 and 64 bit Windows computers. They include all the advanced technical features of the company's Professional packages with the exception of parallel processing. Several features make the Basic packages an exceptional value for users:

o Low single-time purchase price.
o No continuing license fees.
o Free updates
o A single-user licenses includes activation on two computers with quick transfer when a computer is replaced.
o Packages are easy to learn and to run for a part-time user. Comprehensive instruction manuals and ready-to-run application examples are included.

Despite the affordability, there is no sacrifice in terms of technical capabilities. In independent tests, Field Precision software consistently achieves accuracy comparable to or better than other available 3D packages. Through efficient programming and the use of FORTRAN for critical mathematical routines, Field Precision programs achieve exceptional speed and consistently outperform competitors. Solution times for practical applications range from a few minutes to less than an hour.

Field Precision packages have several outstanding features:

o State-of-the-art finite-element techniques applied on conformal meshes of hexahedron elements.
o Interactive environment for building 3D assemblies with an automatic mesh generator.
o Versatile graphical postprocessors with 2D/3D plots, high-accuracy interpolations and automatic surface and volume integrals. In addition, users may define their own plot and analysis quantities.
o Programs feature highly-transparent input and output file formats with the option for command-line operation. This makes it easy to integrate the software into users' own control loops.
o All packages are complete and self-contained.

Field Precision software covers a broad spectrum applications, including electrostatics and high voltage, electromagnet and permanent-magnet assembly design, Monte Carlo simulations of X-ray sources and imaging devices, electron/ion accelerators and microwave devices.
