Simcenter MAGNET Electric, developed by Mentor Graphics Corporation (a Siemens business), is a finite element analysis tool for low-frequency electric field and current-flow simulation. It helps engineers model and verify electrostatic and conduction phenomena in both 2D and 3D, from steady-state to transient conditions. Typical uses include high-voltage insulation studies, busbars and cable assemblies, PCB interconnects and connectors, power electronics packaging, and sensors and actuators.
The software provides robust geometry modeling and CAD import, adaptive meshing, and comprehensive material libraries for metals, dielectrics, and nonlinear or anisotropic media. It enables calculation and visualization of potentials and field strength, current density, leakage paths, capacitance and resistance matrices, electrostatic forces, and Joule losses, with rich post-processing for clear reporting. Parametric modeling and batch studies support design exploration, optimization, and sensitivity analysis to improve performance while reducing size, weight, and cost.
As part of the Simcenter portfolio, Simcenter MAGNET Electric supports electrothermal workflows and collaboration with multidisciplinary simulation and test tools. Its combination of accuracy, usability, and proven FEA technology helps shorten development cycles and reduce physical prototyping across industries such as energy, transportation, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics. more
