Actuators
Actuator with Diode
This actuator example demonstrates the power of a fully integrated MagNet's Transient 3D with motion solver which simultaneously solves the circuit equations, the field equations on the finite element mesh, and the equations of motion. All three sets of equations include some sort of non-linearity. For the circuit the non-linear element is the diode. The finite element solver must deal with non-linear magnetic materials, and the motion solver handles the instantaneous reversal of velocity, which occurs when the plunger bounces off a bumper.

Presented here is an example of an RSM embedded in a VHDL-AMS model of the actuator, used in conjunction with the SystemVision system simulator from Mentor Graphics. The procedure is automated with the System Model Generator which drives MagNet to execute its static solver and then generates the VHDL-AMS code which implements the RSM.

Presented here is an example of an RSM, used in conjunction with the Simulink® system simulator from The MathWorks, Inc. The procedure is automated with the System Model Generator, which drives MagNet to execute its static solver and generates a file containing the RSM data. A plug-in to Simulink reads this file and provides a system block that can be connected to the rest of the system.
