INTEGRATED Engineering Software Launches Version 9.0 of its Simulation Software

By DE Editors

INTEGRATED Engineering Software has announced updates across its product range.   Version 9.0 includes general enhancements to make the modeling software easier to use, faster and more accurate.

There have been upgrades across the range of INTEGRATED’s simulation software in version 9.0.  Visualization tools have had enhancements, including a new Predefined Output/Output Manager structure to improve the natural flow of the design/simulation process and enable better management of multiple plots and results generated by transient analysis. INTEGRATED has also enhanced the coils/windings feature in its magnetic programs, and users can now evaluate the force/torque on bodies due to external static electric/magnetic fields. 

Transient capabilities have been extended to INTEGRATED’s three-dimensional programs’ electrostatic (COULOMB), eddy current (FARADAY),  and heat transfer (CELSIUS) solvers. All packages also include an Enhanced Time Modeler to simulate various types of signals and sources in the time domain. In addition to this, FARADAY now has translational and rotational movement induced eddy current simulation included in the software.

Formatted data export is available for customers using the Tecplot plotting package to generate 2D and 3D plots. Users can export plot data files directly from INTEGRATED applications and open them in Tecplot,  where they can further manipulate and view the data.

There have been improvements to matrix solvers and pre-conditioners for large dense or sparse matrices generated for BEM or FEM analysis. These have improved the capability of simulating electrically large structures with SINGULA, INTEGRATED’s high-frequency field solver.

LORENTZ is INTEGRATED’s charged particle optics and beam analysis module, configured to work with one or more of the standard field solvers (ELECTRO, COULOMB, etc.) depending on the user’s needs.  In version 9.0, LORENTZ has a new interface for an improved work flow. The company has also added options to the core solving features. Notably, the solver has enhanced ODE options, a new thermal statistical launching option, and the meniscus is now modeled as a general curve.

Due for release later in 2010, CHRONOS is INTEGRATED’s new time domain field solver for modeling and simulation of RF and antenna applications.  It is based on the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD)  method combined with mesh generation algorithms.

Version 9.0 of the software is available from INTEGRATED Engineering Software in spring 2010.
