WEBVTT - AC magnetic simulation with QuickField

00:00.000 --> 00:21.000
Hello and welcome to our webinar. Today we will speak about induction motor simulations with our FEA software QuickField. My name is Vladimir, I will say a few words about our simulation tool, and then my colleague Alex will continue with a detailed explanation of examples related to electric motors in general and induction motors in particular.

00:21.000 --> 00:30.000
My introduction will be really short – those who want to learn more about QuickField can find all information on our website www.quickfield.com.

00:32.000 --> 01:05.000
QuickField is a Finite Element simulation software, primarily oriented to electromagnetic and heat transfer applications. Set of analysis options is shown on this slide – they include various types of Magnetic analysis: Magnetostatics, AC magnetics and transient magnetics, family of Electric modules cover Electrostatics, AC and DC conduction, and Transient Electric Field analysis, and for thermostructural studies we offer Steady State heat transfer, Transient heat transfer and linear stress analysis.

01:05.000 --> 01:26.000
All these formulations are available in 2D (either plane-parallel, or axisymmetric), and a growing number of analysis types is also offered in 3D. Today these are Electrostatics, DC Conduction and Static Heat transfer. Number of QuickField 3D formulations will be increased in future.

01:26.000 --> 02:03.000
These studies may be performed not only individually, but also as a coupled multiphysics analysis, today – for 2D only. You may combine electromagnetic simulation, where you will get joule losses - with heat transfer analysis, where the temperature field will be controlled by these losses and cooling conditions. Or you can find the mechanical displacements in QuickField stress analysis simulation due to the forces caused by the currents in the QuickField electromagnetic simulation or thermal loads, which also may be caused by electromagnetic processes.

02:04.000 --> 02:49.000
These impressive set of analysis features may be expanded by end user or any third party. We offer open object Application Programming Interface to all internal functions and data structures of QuickField core. So other applications – developed using Microsoft Office Visual Basic, or Matlab, or any other programming system – may interact with QuickField core and modify or create from scratch geometries, physical data, extract results. This way you can include QuickField as a part of the automatic design process, automate repetitive tasks, or even build process control systems based on QuickField models.

02:49.000 --> 03:14.000
And what is really important – abundance of sophisticated features are delivered in a very user friendly package. QuickField may be used without any dedicated training. For simple tasks it is extremely simple, and may be used even by high school students. With growing experience you will be able to use QuickField for more advanced tasks.

03:14.000 --> 03:29.000
Now Alex will show you how to use QuickField for induction motor simulations, with live presentations of the examples shown on this slide. Thank you for your attention – Alex, please continue.
