Magnetic Modeling and
Prototyping
|
We
have both commercial codes and our own codes developed at STI for modeling of
magnetic devices. These codes have
been benchmarked and their accuracies verified with the many devices we have designed
and built starting in 1979 (see Magnetic
Devices Brochures). Thus, we
possess extensive experience and have high confidence in our ability to use
these models to accurately predict the performance of our devices. This
capability allows us to perform virtual prototyping, in which we
create 3-dimensional designs of the devices within our models. The device’s performance can then be easily
characterized and analyzed. This
includes magnetic, mechanical, and, if necessary, thermal
characterization. Virtual prototyping
is a very cost effective way to build and optimize new designs. It helps minimize the amount of rework
needed when building an actual prototype device. Our experience has been that our virtual prototype
accurately predicts the performance of the actual prototype device. Magnetic
modeling is also important when controlling the effects of stray magnetic fields
between adjacent magnetic devices. A
good example is the PM optics within a compact accelerator bend where the
ends of each component are in close proximity to each other (see Accelerator Optics). Please

for more information on our magnetic modeling and prototyping capabilities. |
