Educational solutions
QuickField is a powerful instrument for professional engineers, designers and researchers. It is also an ultimate teaching tool for high school, undergraduate or graduate classes as:
- it is applicable to a wide range of the teaching applications
- users do not need dedicated training or even a mathematical background
- it has an extremely simple user interface
QuickField enables teachers to:
- explain the physical nature of studied effects and processes and demonstrate the principles of operating industrial devices
- develop "practical engineering sense" in their students by showing them how to visualize field equations and formulae they have studied
- produce pictures and animated presentations of fields in various conditions
- prepare students assignments in the form of example models or as design concepts to be simulated with QuickField
QuickField enables students to:
- improve their understanding of assignments prepared by teachers studying various effects and processes
- implement student research projects
- gain a fundamental understanding of modern CAD/CAE technologies through entry level FEA analysis
- gain experience of utilizing a real engineering tool which may be used in their professional career
License types for academic use
Universities and educational organizations have more QuickField licenses and configurations to choose from, than commercial companies. In addition to our regularly priced options, depending on your academic requirements and budget, you may select from 3 types of special academic licenses:
| QuickField Student Edition | QuickField Lite Edition | QuickField Professional Edition | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2D mesh size limit | 255 nodes | about 4000 nodes | unlimited |
| 3D mesh size limit | 4000 nodes | Practical upper limit for the interactive simulation session is about 100 000 nodes. Larger problems may be solved in offline mode. | |
| Cost | free | Calculate quotation online | Calculate quotation online |
| License term | permanent | per year | per year or permanent |
| Network licensing availability | single-user only | License permits unlimited number of concurrent QuickField sessions within a campus | Single-user and agreed number of floating network licenses are available |
| Licensing requirements | no restrictions | Academic only | No restrictions, however, commercial and academic licensing terms are different |
All three QuickField Editions - Student, Lite and Professional - share the same user interface, analysis options, documentation and are fully supported by the QuickField Support team.
Budget-minded tutors with ambitious teaching plans may consider their combined use. For example, it may be helpful to have one copy of the Professional Edition for the teacher, a set of Lite Editions installed on campus and also recommend students download the Student Edition on their home computers.
Teachers may request the free evaluation license for QuickField Professional or QuickField lite.
Students who are interested to use QuickField Professional in their research projects may request a short-term non-commercial license in exchange for their examples and presentations.
Educational resources
- An effortless way to introduce QuickField to students of any level is via our Virtual Classroom. Students can work through a set of tutorials on-line in the browser window or tutors can download and present to their class without the internet connection
- The full QuickField User Manual is available as a PDF file. You may use it for preparation of your class materials.
- QuickField Student Edition may be installed on any number of student computers and used for simple simulations or as a free browser of results obtained with the Professional or Lite Editions of QuickField.
- The book Applied Electromagnetics Using QuickField & MATLAB includes demonstrations and simulations of various physical phenomena using QuickField.
Temporary non-commercial license for Student projects
Are you a student, who is interested to use QuickField Professional for your study research or project, but do not have a budget to acquire a license? There is a possibility for you. We are looking for enthusiasts, who may help us in promoting QuickField by writing blog articles, creating instructional videos, participating in our webinars or providing us with other media content related to QuickField use. In exchange for this activity we will grant you the temporary license for QuickField Professional for the period of our cooperation, which may be used for non-commercial student projects.
We expect the approved candidates to provide us with a fully described QuickField problem example each month (please follow our submission instructions), and after the final work is ready -a video presentation with live QuickField sessions (previously provided examples may be reused).
