Packages

QuickField is a highly efficient Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software for electromagnetic, thermal, and stress analysis simulations, including coupled multiphysics analysis. It combines advanced solver technology with an intuitive model editor (preprocessor) and a robust postprocessor for seamless simulation workflows.

With its user-friendly interface, QuickField requires no prior training—you can start using it immediately after installation without needing in-depth knowledge of the underlying mathematical algorithms. Designed exclusively for Windows®, QuickField leverages the advantages of modern operating systems to provide a compact yet powerful solution for diverse design applications.

QuickField offers customizable configurations tailored to specific analysis needs. Each package includes a model editor, data editor, solver, and postprocessor. The tools and modules provided depend on the selected analysis options, which fall into three categories: Magnetic analysis, Electric analysis, and Thermostructural analysis. These modules can also be combined for comprehensive Multiphysics coupling..

Magnetic analysis with QuickField is primarily used for low- and medium-frequency electromagnetic simulations that focus on magnetic fields, excluding the electric components of the electromagnetic field. The analysis is divided into three main types:

• DC Magnetics
  Designed for static models, this module handles non-linear materials, permanent magnets, DC currents, and various boundary conditions.
• Transient Magnetics
  Enables simulation of transient operating modes in magnetic systems with time-varying magnetic field sources and pulses. This module also supports integration with our proprietary electric circuit simulator, allowing for a more comprehensive representation of the system by connecting the field model blocks to resistors, capacitors, inductors, current, and voltage sources.
• AC Magnetics
  Used for analyzing electromagnetic devices and systems with time-harmonic alternating currents. Similar to transient magnetics, it also supports the connection of field model blocks to electric circuits for detailed simulation of AC-driven systems.

Electric analysis with QuickField focuses on electromagnetic field simulations where magnetic effects are negligible. It includes the following modules:

• Electrostatics
  Analyzes electric fields generated by stationary charge distributions and applied voltages in systems containing conductors and dielectrics. This module is ideal for studying static electric fields.
• DC Conduction (Current Flow)
  Simulates the distribution of direct current in conducting materials under applied electric voltages.
• AC Conduction
  Calculates the distribution of electric fields and currents in conductors and dielectrics under time-harmonic alternating voltages or currents.
• Transient Electric Analysis
  Calculates the distribution of electric fields and currents generated by arbitrarily shaped pulses of time-dependent voltages and currents applied to conductors and dielectrics.

Thermostructural analysis examines the distribution of temperatures and mechanical stresses in constructions and devices. This category includes:

1. Static Heat Transfer Analysis This module determines the stationary temperature distribution for arbitrary combinations of the heat sources and cooling conditions.
2. Transient Heat Transfer Analysis This module investigates time-dependent thermal processes to study how temperatures evolve over time for arbitrary combinations of the time-dependent heat sources and cooling conditions.
3. Stress Analysis This module calculates mechanical stresses, strains, and deformations caused by thermal and mechanical loads.

Multiphysics coupling allows the results of one analysis to serve as input for another analysis. The second ("destination") problem must use the same geometric model as the "source" problem. It may be used to analyze complex combinations of several physical effects, including temperature distribution caused by electromagnetic heating processes and mechanical deformations due to electromagnetic forces. It is also used to specify initial field distribution in the media in the transient simulation.
