2D/RS Magnetic Solver: AdAstraMS Software

Overview

Ad Astra Magnetic Solver (AdAstraMS) is an accurate and fast engineering design tool for solving magnetic fields with rotational symmetry (2D/RS). The AdAstraMS software is ideal for designing magnetic systems with linear and non-linear magnetic materials, such as electromagnetic plasma confinement systems, magnetic shielding and more. AdAstraMS has the following capabilities:

  • Providing 1D and 2D plots of the magnetic field profiles and contour plots of the field lines
  • Modeling the effect of mu-metal shielding
  • Finding electromagnet currents for given magnet geometries and desired field values on the axis
  • Finding values of the Bz and Br at any position coordinate (r, z)
  • Calculating the total magnetic moment for the system
  • Determining the expansion and compression forces between separate coils

Requirements

  • Microsoft Windows: XP, Vista or 7; Linux option as available as well
  • Minimum of 1 GB of RAM
  • Matlab (optional) for GUI interface and analysis of the results
  • Input files describing electromagnet coil geometries with rectangular cross-sections
  • Input files describing B-H curve data and mu-metal geometry (if present)
