Improved magnetic material models for computational electromagnetics

我们的社会依赖于大量的设备，这些设备向我们提供电力并将其转化为其他形式的有用能量，例如，许多家用电器中的电动机。这些设备的效率是所有加拿大人都关心的问题，因为浪费的能源既昂贵又对环境有害。为了提高效率，需要更好的设计，这些设计可以通过使用现代软件设计工具来获得，这些工具能够模拟设备内部的电磁场。虽然随着软件和运行它们的计算机的改进，仿真工具已经变得更好，但仍然需要更快，更准确的仿真-这反过来又会缩短设计周期和更好的设计。

Our society is dependent on a large number of devices that deliver electrical power to us and transform it into other forms of useful energy, e.g., the electric motors that are present in many household appliances. The efficiency of these devices is a concern to all Canadians, since wasted energy is costly and harmful to the environment. To improve efficiency, better designs are needed and these can be obtained by using modern software design tools, which are able to simulate the electromagnetic fields inside the devices. Though the simulation tools have become much better as both the software and the computers they run on have improved, there continues to be a need for faster and more accurate simulation - which in turn, leads to shorter design cycles and better designs.
