Technology Partnership with MSC Software Corporation™

Link MagNet with MSC.Nastran and Actran for electromagnetic and vibrational analysis

Noise and vibrations are important considerations when designing motors, transformers or any other number of electromagnetic devices.

MagNet supports the FSIMapper from Fraunhofer SCAI™, which makes it possible to have a one-way connection with MSC.Nastran.

The partnership between Infolytica Corporation and MSC Software Corporation means both companies participated in the development of this coupling, which ensures a higher degree of accuracy and reliability.

Forces and torques are the mechanism by which electromagnetic energy is translated into vibration. MagNet computes accurate global force and local force distributions for the static, time-harmonic and time varying electromagnetic fields.

The force results of the target component from MagNet can be exported for use with FSIMapper, which can be then used in MSC.Nastran and Actran for the corresponding vibration and noise analysis.

Using FSIMapper, the EM force results from MagNet are mapped

on to the structural model in MSC.Nastran.
