Lorentz

by Integrated Engineering Software

LORENTZ, the 2D/3D electromagnetic analysis software tool, puts you at the forefront of CAE design technology for applications requiring charged particle and beam analysis. Utilizing our innovative Boundary Element Method (BEM) technology, combined with a powerful user interface and post processing helps LORENTZ alleviate the shortcomings of traditional finite difference-based packages.

The Boundary Element Method speeds up response time, reduces the need for large amounts of input data, allows for more accurate calculation of derived functions of potential, and has the ability to deal with open region problems. Our research and development professionals designed LORENTZ to help solve the specific problems inherent in the design and analysis of charged particles in the presence of electrostatic and/or magnetostatic fields.

Design engineers can depend on LORENTZ for the design and analysis of charged particles that incorporate electrostatic and magnetostatic components, including:

• CRT and X-ray tubes
• high energy particles in nuclear applications
• cyclotrons, klystrons and accelerators
• ion implantation, electron lithography and disk sputtering
• electron gun design
• mass spectrometers
• magnetrons
• high voltage corona effects

Quick, productive...up and running in no time
LORENTZ maximizes productivity by allowing for the simulation of virtual prototypes on the computer. LORENTZ significantly reduces design and prototype costs and provides engineers far greater insight into design optimization and verification.

As easy as one, two, three
LORENTZ provides fast accurate results, exact modeling of boundaries and easy analysis of open region problems. No Finite Element Mesh (FEM) is required. LORENTZ delivers a powerful, easy-to-use design and analysis tool right to your desktop. LORENTZ goes to work in just three easy steps.

1. Create your design through our geometric modeler or import from your CAD program.
2. Assign the physical attributes of the model.
3. Analyze the model, display the results and optimize for performance.
