Magnetic Design
Simulation and analysis is one aspect of our work, but this often is undertaken in conjunction with some more front-end design work. This is where we can support our customers with our experience in the design of magnetic circuits, knowledge of materials and processes, and development of new product concepts.
Frontend Engineering and Design
The behaviour of magnetic fields can sometimes be counter-intuitive. Once the design process reaches the simulation stage, the correct interpretation of the results is essential if the design is to be driven towards the most effective solution. Because we have many years of experience in this area, we are well placed to help our customers to deliver an efficient and effective new product development.
