General Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Calculation Software Based on the Quasi-Newton Algorithm

Abstract:

Equivalent magnetic circuit method is a rapid calculation method used in magnetic circuit simulation. But for a long time this method can’t be used widely because the algorithm is not general and there is no commercial software developed for this method. In this paper, general software for magnetic circuit calculation was developed using LabVIEW language. Quasi-Newton algorithm was used in solving nonlinear Kirchhoff equation of magnetic circuit in this software. The project file in this software can be shared freely in different calculations. This software is expected to save the time-cost in the design of new product.
