VECTOR FIELDS OPERA V12

FEA modelling of static and time-varying electromagnetic fields

Opera provides the complete toolchain for electromagnetic design, simulation and analysis of results, for use on 32- or 64-bit Windows and Linux platforms. It consists of a powerful pre-processing environment for creating design models (or importing them from CAD programs), plus a powerful finite element analysis (FEA) solver from our range. Three generic solvers are optionally available:

* static electromagnetic fields (the widely used 'Tosca' tool) - More
* low-frequency time-varying electromagnetic fields - More
* high frequency time-varying electromagnetic fields* - More

Opera can alternatively be purchased in a number of forms optimised for specific design problems:

* linear and rotating machinery design - More
* superconducting magnet quenching - More
* space charge effects from particle beams - More
* permanent magnet magnetisation/demagnetisation - More
* thermal and stress analysis (standalone or coupled) - More
* electric field analysis in conducting-dielectric media - More

*Vector Fields produces a dedicated package for RF and microwave electromagnetic design, Concerto, with FDTD or MoM solvers. The FEA solver used in Opera is optionally available, for design problems where extreme solution accuracy is needed.
