Application Fields

Magnetic Systems
NM GmbH has applied CAE with success to the analysis and the optimization of magnetic circuits and devices.
The smart combination of simulation models in two- and three-dimensional domains provides an efficient and cost-effective solution to complex R&D tasks. NM have already applied this approach to the study of the following areas: proximity and the effect in sensors; inductive phenomena including thermal effects (e.g., eddy current heating); magneto-static devices involving permanent magnets; etc.
