Versatile

A single design tool for experts and newcomers

Adaptable

Multi-objective optimization

In-depth

Not a black-box design. Provides full information of the device

Precise

Automatic 3D and 2D model generation for FEA tools

Scalable

From low to high power magnetics in a single tool

From design to manufacturing

01

Versatile

A single design tool for every need:

  • For expert users: every parameter is configurable, from models and limitations to result visualization.
  • For non-expert users: the standard configuration allows the device’s design with the minimum input data.

03

Scalable

From low to high power in a single tool:

  • Cores can be stacked, allowing a wide range from less than a watt to kilowatts.
  • Temperature can be limited to ensure continuous operation at high loads.

Complete Database

A wide range of options for:

  • Core geometries.
  • Core materials.
  • Conductor geometries.
  • Conductor materials.
  • Electrical insulators.
  • Wire sleeves.
  • Connectors.

05

Gap Distributions

  • Standard gapping: same single gap for every leg
  • Concentrated gap: a single gap in one of the legs.
  • Distributed gap: a gap distributed into several smaller gaps.

FEM Simulation

Automatically generated by SmartNetics:

  • Full 3D model: including core, insulators, and wires without geometry simplifications
  • Symmetry simplifications: simulation can be sped up taking advantage of core symmetries while maintaining 3D accuracy.
  • Model reduction: 2D model built from the 3D one, for faster simulations.
  • Magnetic, electrostatic, and thermal simulations.

08

Planar magnetics

Automatically generated by SmartNetics:

  • Design your planar transformers and inductors in PCB.
  • Drastically reduce your design time by automatically exporting your PCB to KiCad, including traces, vias, core holes and stack-up
