Tera Releases Quickfield 5.7 Simulation Software
Tera Analysis has introduced Version 5.7 of its Quickfield simulation software, which enables users to carry out transient non-linear electric simulation. Many advanced applications related to electrical insulation and high-voltage equipment design utilise the effects of non-linear dependency between the dielectric material properties and electric field strength. It is especially important when the electric field sources vary with time and this transient field propagates across dielectrics. Previous versions of Quickfield have neglected all these effects in electric field simulations, according to the company. In the past, users had to choose from electrostatics, DC conduction or AC conduction formulations with constant parameters of all dielectrics. However, it is now possible to solve full-scale transient problems with dielectric materials, having field-dependent non-linear permitivities and conductivities. This new problem formulation may be used to study the field distribution in ...
