Structural and Thermal Aspects

Structural integrity and temperature rise also play important roles in determining the suitability of a design. The modules Opera-2d/th and Opera-3d/Tempo can be used for the thermal analysis, using eddy currents computed in other analysis modules as the heat sources. Both steady state and transient oprions are available.

The effects of stresses within the design can be computed using the Opera-2d/sa and Opera-3d/Stress modules.
