Computer-aided design has come of age in the magnetic devices
industry. From its early beginnings in the 1960s, when the
precision needs of the experimental physics community first created
a need for computational aids to magnet design, CAD software has
grown to occupy an important spot in the industrial designer's tool
kit. Numerous commercial CAD systems are now available for
magnetics work, and many more software packages are used in-house
by large industrial firms. While their capabilities vary, all these
software systems share a very substantial common core of both
methodology and objec tives. The present need, particularly in
medium-sized and nonspecialist firms, is for an understanding of
how to make effective use of these new and immensely powerful
tools: what approximations are inherent in the methods, what
quantities can be calculated, and how to relate the com puted
results to the needs of the designer. These new analysis techniques
profoundly affect the designer's approach to problems, since the
analytic tools available exert a strong influence on the conceptual
models people build, and these in turn dictate the manner in which
they formulate prob lems. The impact of CAD is just beginning to be
felt industrially, and the authors believe this is an early, but
not too early, time to collect together some of the experience
which has now accumulated among industrial and research users of
magnetics analysis systems."
