Basic - Bootcamp I Summary:
The Bootcamp Workshops focus on the basics of Magnetics. If you need to understand magnets better for your job, want to get more from the conference presentations or are new to the field, then Basic - Bootcamp I is the right place to start.
Background: Assumes that one has little or no background in magnetics.
The Bootcamp I workshop will cover the fundamental magnetic concepts such as hysteresis, what is magnetism, units, basic processing, magnetizing and thermal effects. |

Advanced - Bootcamp II Summary:
If something more advanced is what you are looking for, attend Bootcamp II.
Background: Assumes someone has either taken a previous Bootcamp, either in Chicago (2007 or 2009) or Denver (2008) or Bootcamp I, or has some basic technical understanding of magnetics. After a brief review of the basics, including self-demagnetization and loadlines, we will discuss raw materials and their pricing, advanced processing techniques, manufacturability, design basics, new design case studies and what’s new on the horizon. |

Summary: One of the issues often facing designers of electrical machines (and other equipment) using electromagnetic finite element methods is insufficient understanding of the model of magnetic materials within the software. This workshop will improve underlying knowledge of the relationships between physical material characteristics and the models for the numerical solution, detailing assumptions that are made by the software. The materials models will be illustrated by their application in a range of rotating and linear electrical machines. The topics will provide a useful introduction to designers and engineers who are considering adopting electromagnetic design software, but will also address advanced modelling, including hysteresis, demagnetization in service and temperature effects. Vector Fields Opera will be used to demonstrate the principles.
Audience:
- Engineers and scientists using finite element software for modeling all types of magnetic equipment and devices
- Machine designers who are considering adopting finite element methods
Benefits: This workshop will give a greater understanding of the possibilities for accurately representing the behavior of magnetic materials in finite element simulation. For engineers and scientists who have not used electromagnetic design software before, the program introduces simple material models and assumptions, leading on to advanced topics, such as hard material magnetization and hysteresis, for more experienced designers. Users of the Opera software will find it a useful review of the facilities available and the techniques for accessing them. |
About the Instructor
 Chris Riley is Technology Manager for Vector Fields Software in Oxford UK, a business unit of Cobham Technical Services specializing in software for electromagnetic design. He has worked in the field of electromagnetic design for more than 30 years since graduating in electrical engineering from University College, London in 1975. He joined Vector Fields in 1986, after previous positions with GEC Power Engineering, Compeda and Liverpool University. He is primarily concerned with applications of design software, with particular interest in electrical machines, magnetic and electric signatures from naval vessels and superconducting magnets. He is the author of more than 50 papers and articles on electromagnetic design and is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering Technology (formerly the Institution of Electrical Engineers). He is currently serving a second period on the Institution’s executive committee for the Electromagnetics Knowledge and Technology Network.
