20-SIM

20-sim is a modeling and simulation program that runs under Microsoft Windows. With 20-sim you can

model and simulate the behavior of dynamic systems, such as electrical, mechanical and hydraulic systems or any combination of these.

20-sim fully supports graphical modeling and allows you to design and analyze dynamic systems in a intuitive and user friendly way. 20-sim supports the use of components. This helps you to enter models as in an engineering scheme: by choosing components from the library and connecting them, your engineering scheme is actually built without entering a single line of math!

About this issue

FEKO Suite 6.1 was released on 18 July 2011. In this issue, we will take a look at some of the new features and introduce the new branch of EMSS that has been established in China.

If you would like to comment or ask questions about the content of this issue, please send us an email, or contact your local distributor.

New features in FEKO Suite 6.1

The latest version of FEKO introduces a completely revised user-interface for CADFEKO and many new features — including over 300 smaller extensions! Users may consult the latest release notes in the FEKO installation folder for a complete list of changes and extensions or visit the Suite 6.1 download area on the FEKO website for more information.

New electromagnetic solver features include the Numerical Green’s function domain decomposition technique for speeding up repetitive calculations involving large, static structures, the extension to use tetrahedral mesh elements for the Volume Equivalence Principle solution of dielectric materials (fully integrated into CADFEKO), special basis functions for low frequency analysis, a transmission and reflection coefficient

request for the investigation of the electromagnetic properties of materials, the definition of incident plane waves using local workplanes and numerous integrated cable modelling extensions, including a new combined MoM/MTL solution technique.

New user interface features include automated meshing and numerous other CADFEKO meshing features such as adaptive mesh refinement, report generation and scripting in POSTFEKO, several extensions to 2D graphs and 3D views and an angle measurement tool.

Read about these and other new features online in the full September 2011 Quarterly.

CADFEKO Suite 6.1 user interface.

Feature Focus: Numerical Green’s Function Domain Decomposition

The Numerical Green’s Function (NGF) is a domain decomposition method that can be used to avoid repetition of the same calculations for problems with largely static geometry. It can drastically reduce the runtime during optimisation of a structure, and is useful for antenna placement studies.

Read more about this technique in the September 2011 Quarterly online.

Watch the Video: FEKO Suite 6.1 Release Highlights

The FEKO Suite 6.1 Release Highlights video is shared onemssfeko’s YouTube channel and is available through the FEKO website at http://www.feko.info/product-detail/videos.

This video gives a short overview of the major new features in Suite 6.1, with quick demonstrations in CADFEKO and POSTFEKO to show users where to access these features and to illustrate how they may be used.

EMSS opens branch in China

EMSS is pleased to announce the establishment of a new branch in the People’s Republic of China. The offices of EM Software & Systems China is located in Pudong New District, Shanghai.
