Introduction to Flux

Flux is a professional electrical, magnetic and thermal finite element analysis software developed by Magsoft, a leading global CAE software manufacturer, for 2D and 3D software packages for electromagnetic analysis and electrothermal analysis. The software is based on finite element method, which is designed for electromagnetic and electric heating. It is reliable, easy to use, accurate and efficient. It can provide accurate simulation results, reduce product cost and shorten the development cycle.

Flux software features

◆ Professional motor design software

Flux is an excellent motor design software widely used in the field of motor design, such as DC motors, synchronous motors, induction motors, stepper motors, couplers, brushless motors, switched reluctance motors, permanent magnet motors, linear motors, electromagnetic brakes , Contactors, magnetic bearings, magnetic emission devices. Comes with free division of the motor, transformers and other windings, saving computing time, improve the accuracy of the solution.

◆ Motor quick design function 

Provides rapid motor design. At present, including induction motor library (inner rotor, outer rotor), brushless permanent magnet synchronous motor library (inner rotor, outer rotor) and switched reluctance motor library.

◆ Multiple model interfaces

Support for model importations such as Inventor SAT / ACIS, CATIA V4, V5, Inventor (Autodesk), Pro / ENGINEER, IGES, STEP and other mainstream CAD standard formats. Combined with Excel, can achieve intuitive parameterization, and provide with Matlab / Simulink collaborative simulation interface.

◆ Rich material library

With the common materials of electromagnetic equipment, provide superconducting material library model, can be edited materials, parameters, including conductivity, permeability, dielectric constant, specific heat, convection, radiation and conduction coefficient.

◆ Support for Python language 

Support Python language, can be used to import Python language modeling Flux, can also be directly simulated by Flux simulation, save the Python language text, can greatly reduce the storage space. Especially for parametric analysis and transient analysis, the direct preservation of the results need a larger space.

◆ Special area processing

Can solve the magnetic field problem of ultra-thin ferromagnetic material (scale thickness ratio of 10-5), the infinite region through the conformal transformation into a limited area, eliminating the truncation error, to maximize the simulation accuracy.

◆ Advanced grid technology

Available in four grid technologies: tetrahedron, hexahedron, pyramid, triangular prism grid. Four kinds of grids can coexist in the same problem. In addition, the grid can also be precisely controlled, the control grid density is convenient and accurate.

◆First order and second order finite element method

The first order and second order finite element method, second order finite element methodcan significantly improve the simulation accuracy, the accuracy advantage is obvious.

◆ Multi - physics coupling simulation capability   

Can be carried out by electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical motion coupling analysis, can be steady state, time harmonic, transient and other different state simulation, greatly improving the accuracy of power equipment simulation.

◆ Comprehensive post-processing function

It can calculate the common physical quantities such as voltage, electric field, magnetic field, magnetic density, current density, energy, power, loss, magnetic moment, torque, temperature, acceleration, velocity and so on. The display of color, precision, etc. can be adjusted, you can export animation effects, so that the physical changes more intuitive.

Typical Case

■ Induction motor

Induction motor is commonly used in industrial production of the motor, with a simple structure, easy maintenance, low cost advantages. With the rapid increase in the cost of materials used in the manufacture of motors, how to design a higher cost of the motor as a hot issue in the field of motor design.
