PHI3D is a Boundary Element Method based CAD package for computing electric and magnetic fields in 3D devices. PHI3D can be used to solve problems in electrostatics, volumic electric conduction, linear magnetostatics, and small skin depth steady state AC magnetics. Features include definition or recall of geometry, meshing, specification of physical properties, field calculation, visualization and analysis of results on surfaces or cross-sections, and graphics and text hard copy facilities.
Computation of electric potential and fields in the absence of current. Calculation of capacitance between conductors, and dielectric strength of insulators. Volumic conduction. Determination of current distribution and electric potential in complex-shaped conductors. Calculation of electric resistance and distribution of Ohmic losses.
Calculation of magnetic fields in linear materials due to DC currents. Applications include electromagnets, contactors, motors, and electron guns.
Calculation of magnetic fields in solid conducting materials due to high-frequency AC currents. Typical applications are non-destructive testing, surface hardening, and superconductivity.
