Infologic Design

Electromagnetic Design and Analysis Specialists since 1978

Infologic Design (formerly Infolytica Europe) has provided state-of-the-art Electromagnetic solutions since 1978, supplying design and modelling software for electromagnetic devices, plus offering consulting and analysis services.

Engineers from a wide range of industries across Europe use our software tools and services for the design and analysis of applications, including electromechanical devices such as electric motors and generators, non-destructive testing (NDT/NDE), loudspeakers, actuators, sensors, induction heating, and industrial transformers.

We have the expertise, built over more than 40 years, to assist our customers select the best options for their needs, provide training, and give a high level of technical support. This includes consulting services, ranging from analysis to design and device optimisation.

With our partners we also provide the manufacture of electric motor prototypes, and small to medium scale production of the final motor.

Introducing - TrafoSolve

TrafoSolve is an easy and logical interface to the Simcenter MAGNET Suite, and allows users to input transformer characteristics quickly and obtain transformer relevant solutions efficiently.

Simcenter MAGNET Electric

Simcenter MAGNET Electric is the leading 2D/3D electric field simulation software tool. Designers can easily model the most complicated devices and accurately predict their behaviour. Based on finite element analysis methods, Simcenter MAGNET Electric solves static, AC and transient electric field and current flow problems.

Simcenter MAGNET Thermal

Simcenter MAGNET Thermal simulates the steady-state and transient temperature distribution of specified heat sources. Coupling with other parts of the Simcenter MAGNET Suite, it provides accurate electromagnetic-thermal analysis for devices such as electric machines (motors and generators), transformers, induction heating, surge arrestors and dielectric heating.

Simcenter MAGNET Design Optimisation

Simcenter MAGNET Design Optimisation is an automated design optimisation option to the Simcenter MAGNET Suite. Using advanced and efficient algorithms, Simcenter MAGNET Design Optimisation can find optimal values for different design variables within the constraints specified.
