Software extracts lumped parameter circuit models.

Press Release Summary:




Maxwell® Equivalent Circuit Extractor enables user to extract lumped parameter circuit models directly from Maxwell to SIMPLORER® multi-domain system simulation software. Mechanical pins are used for linear and rotational models. Software can edit coil resistance and turns in SIMPLORER, and assign extra ports to physical domains. It provides device outputs as NC nodes in SIMPLORER, including power loss, coil current, flux, power, force, torque, position, and speed.
