Ansoft Releases PExprt™
New transformer and inductor design tool is first to save time and cost by integrating design solution, analysis, and simulation in a single environment
PITTSBURGH - October 15, 2002 - Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ: ANST) today released PExprt, a new software tool that helps to optimize and speed the design of transformers and inductors, magnetic components common to electrical systems found in automobiles, aircraft, and personal communication devices.
PExprt, the first software of its kind to integrate design solution, analysis, and simulation in a single environment, automatically runs through hundreds of "what-if" scenarios based on specifications that users input. Within minutes, the software outputs an easy-to-read table of design options that would otherwise take engineers days or even weeks to produce.
"Many companies have relied on laborious methods to design power converters," said Mark Ravenstahl, Product Marketing Manager at Ansoft. "This is no longer necessary with PExprt, which eliminates the reliance on expensive build-test methodologies and hand calculations. The software helps engineers to design optimum devices more efficiently."
Engineers also may invoke PExprt's finite-element analysis (FEA) to obtain even more detailed results. Coupled with the software's model netlist for SIMPLORER®, PSpice®, or Saber®, users can perform a complete simulation to see how their devices perform within a given environment.
PExprt's key features include:
- Synthesis and analysis for inductors, multi-winding transformers, coupled inductors, and flyback components
- Design generation from user input of sinusoidal and square voltage waveforms or converter specifications (boost, buck, buck-boost, forward, half-bridge, full-bridge, push-pull and flyback)
- Series of results that satisfy design specifications; results can be sorted in terms of loss, temperature rise, or other design parameters
- Interface that provides easy entry of design specifications; includes vendor libraries of cores, materials, bobbins, and wires
- Powerful automated FEA calculation for electromagnetic and electric field calculations
- Complete model netlist for SIMPLORER, PSpice, or Saber
Pricing and Availability
PExprt for Windows® XP, 98SE, 2000, and ME is available immediately. Pricing starts at $6,900. UNIX versions will be available by the end of this year.
