Intro AMaze programs offer the ultimate in 3D finite-element solution power for personal computers. AMaze's unique conformal-mesh technology creates optimal hexahedron elements while preserving logical structure. The results are impressive numerical accuracy, efficient use of computer resources and high-speed operation. The streamlined scripts and graphical capabilities of the MetaMesh automatic generator make mesh creation fast and easy. Most important, the affordable prices of the AMaze programs make them accessible to everybody. Available for Linux and Windows. TriComp are the 2D versions of the Amaze programs. They generate field solutions for 2D planar systems and 3D cylindrical geometries. The finite-element codes offer unparalleled speed and accuracy on personal computers under Linux and Windows. All solution programs utilize Mesh 5.0, an automatic conformal 2D triangular mesh generator with built-in drawing editor and DXF import capability. Each package includes a library of examples and an interactive, graphical postprocessor designed for the application. Programs in the AMaze package: For all types of simulations you need first a preprocessor, for the AMaze system that is MetaMesh. After that you can choose the simulation programs needed for your application. HiPhi - for electrostatic calculations Magnum - for magnetostatic applications RFE3 - for low frequency RF applications Preprocessor MetaMesh (the core of the AMaze series) is a versatile, fast and easy-to-learn program to create 3D meshes for finite-element calculations. The term conformal means that elements are individually shaped to match object boundaries. The faithful representation of surfaces and the extended node coupling of the hexahedron mesh account for the high accuracy of AMaze programs. MetaMesh is the only commercially-available 3D generator that creates ideal structured meshes of conformal elements. Structure ensures that solution programs are easier to create, use memory more efficiently and run faster. Available for Windows and Linux. Features Fast processing speed (> 50,000 nodes/second). Detailed instruction manual, ready-to-run examples and a cross-linked on-line help file. Extensive shape-model library (including extrusions and turnings with arbitrary cross sections). Powerful visualization tools to build meshes and to create presentations. Automatic error correction for high reliability. Built-in hardcopy support for all Windows print devices . Option to run autonomously in batch mode to process large amounts of data. Automatic mesh generation controlled by a self-documenting script. Interactive graphical geometry editor available soon. Simple, well- documented output format makes it easy to transfer data to your own applications. Solvers There are three different solvers included, all based on the Finite Elements Method. An electrostatic solver (HiPhi), magnetostatic solver (Magnum) and a low frequency RF solver (RFE3). As a baseline, the HiPhi program can solve an electrostatic solution with 200,000 nodes in less than 1 minute on a standard PC. The Magnum program for magnetostatics can handle over 5 million elements on a computer with 512 MB of memory. Three-dimensional electrostatics HiPhi offers unparalleled computational power, speed and accuracy for 3D electrostatics at a moderate price. The program handles user-specified geometries that may contain regions of electrodes, dielectrics, space-charge and resistive materials. The package includes the PhiView postprocessor for plots and interactive analyses. A PC with 512 MB of RAM can accomodate large meshes with over 10 million elements. Solution times are short - a 200,000-node calculation takes less than 1 minute. HiPhi has application to areas such as high-voltage engineering, circuit component design, electro-optical and vacuum microelectronic devices, electroplating and electrostatic equipment (precipitators, copiers, printers,...). Available for Windows and Linux. Features Easy-to-understand instruction manual with walkthrough examples. Extensive array of 2D and 3D plotting options. Publication-quality hardcopy with support for all Windows print devices. Interactive point-and- click analysis of solutions. New solution techniques to resolve microscopic details in large structures. Formatted text output files make it easy to transfer information to user applications or to mathematical analysis programs.

Automatic surface integrals of normal fields to calculate mutual capacitances and electrode currents. Advanced interpolation techniques with intelligent-point-selection for high-accuracy field calculations.

Three-dimensional magnetostatics with high-permeability materials and permanent magnets Magnum is a complete tool for 3D finite-element magnetostatic calculations. The program achieves unprecendented accuracy and speed at a moderate price. Magnum can perform three types of calculations: 1) free-space fields in unbounded volumes for given applied currents, 2) bounded fields in the presence of coils, permanent magnets and linear-isotropic ferromagnetic materials and 3) pulsed fields in regions with ideal conductors. The package includes two additional programs: CPrep (a preprocessor for definition of drive coils) and MagView (a postprocessor for 2D/3D plots and analyses). Magnum has extensive applications to the design of magnets (with and without iron) and permanent magnet assemblies. Available for Windows and Linux. Features Easy-to-understand instruction manual with walkthrough examples. Extensive array of 2D and 3D plotting options. Publication-quality hardcopy with support for all Windows print devices. Interactive point-and- click analysis of solutions. New solution techniques resolve microscopic details in large structures. Volume integrals of field energy to determine inductance.

The package includes RFE3View, an interactive analysis program to find spatial variations of the amplitude and phase of electric fields and current. In additional to standard 2D/3D plots, RFE3View generates 3D surfaces of constant potential, field amplitude or resistive power density. RFE3 has application to areas such as industrial RF treatments, geological measurements and biomedical procedures. The mathematical methods of RFE3 apply at frequencies where the RF wavelength is larger than the simulated structure. Available for Windows or Linux.
