parameters A complete various parameters influence to study

Design sensor device (geometry, material, electrical circuit, inductors) 

Optimize its efficiency and find the optimum performance (linearity, accuracy, range of operation, price,…)

Study the influence of external perturbation factors (others devices, earth field,…)

Evaluate the materials sensitivity to temperature variations (non linear dependence)…

output Outputs

Flux density and eddy currents distribution

Currents, Voltages, Electromagnetic forces, Speed, Position versus time

Temperature: Color map distribution in the whole device, variation versus time

Materials: Visualize locally the evolution of properties (permeability, magnetic induction)

advantage Advantages
