Field and Circuit coupling in frequency domain
Circuit Editor |
Circuit Result Postprocessing |
Exciting new feature of QuickField 5.3 is its field and circuit coupling capability. Solid conductors, located in the magnetic field region, can now be arbitrarily connected to the electric circuit components.
Schema may contain any number of resistors, capacitors, inductors, voltage and current sources. Circuit and field equations are solved simultaneously and the simulation results are presented in both integral (circuit) and differential (field) forms.
Model Editor enhancements
The set of standard editing operations in the geometrical Model Editor is now extended by Copy, Cut, Paste commands and mouse-controlled Drag-and-Drop interface. It works across the model or between different geometrical model files.
Capacitance Matrix Calculator
Customers working with multi-electrode electrostatic problems now have a powerful add-in for capacitance matrix calculation. This tool automatically creates the electrode list for preliminary defined QuickField problem elements. Graphical user interface allows any electrode grounding, inclusion or exclusion from the calculations. Then the corresponding set of QuickField problems will be automatically generated and solved. The resulting matrix of the lumped mutual and self-capacitances of the electrode system, suitable for the equivalent electric circuit, is displayed.
Finite element mesh and field export to Matlab and other applications
Recently implemented feature of the full model mesh and results export from the postprocessor (released in QuickField 5.2 SP3 for compatibility with the popular gaseous detector simulator Garfield) is now complemented by the mesh export command of the Model Editor. These exported files have simple format and may be easily used in many any other applications, including MatLab.
