JMAG-Designer V24

JMAG-Designer 24, released in January 2025 by JSOL Corporation, introduces a range of new and enhanced features aimed at advancing electromechanical design and simulation. This latest version builds on its reputation as a leading finite element analysis (FEA) tool by further automating design processes and improving efficiency, accuracy, and usability for engineers and researchers. Below is an overview of the key new features in JMAG-Designer 24:

1. Discrete Optimization Support: One of the standout additions is the ability to handle design variables with discrete values during optimization. This feature ensures that optimal designs align with real-world standards and constraints, such as whole numbers for coil turns, avoiding issues like exceeding voltage limits that might occur with continuous optimization. This enhances design efficiency and practicality.
2. Faster Computation with MPP Parallel Support: JMAG-Designer 24 significantly boosts processing speeds for large-scale models through the implementation of Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) with a direct method. This reduces analysis times, making it ideal for handling complex, multi-case simulations and improving computational resource utilization.
3. Vibration Analysis with Transfer Functions: A new capability allows users to perform rapid vibration evaluations at the system level using transfer functions. This speeds up the assessment of system-level vibrations, reducing the need for extensive design rework and enhancing overall product performance.
4. User-Defined Thermal Resistance Modeling: The software now supports modeling of thermal resistance using Python scripts, offering greater flexibility for users to customize thermal simulations according to specific project needs.
5. Automated Mesh Generation for Axial Machines: JMAG-Designer 24 introduces automated mesh generation functions tailored for axial machine designs, simplifying the setup process and ensuring high-quality mesh for accurate analysis.
6. Restart Function for FEA Calculations: A new restart feature allows users to resume finite element analysis calculations that were interrupted due to abnormal or undesirable terminations, saving time and computational resources.
7. Enhanced Security with Password Management: For JMAG-RT models, the integration of password management ensures secure distribution and controlled usage of high-fidelity models, adding a layer of protection for sensitive design data.

These features collectively streamline the design workflow, making JMAG-Designer 24 a more efficient and secure tool for model-based development. Whether used for electric motor design, electromagnetic field analysis, or multiphysics simulations, this version empowers users to explore a wider design space, optimize performance, and achieve results faster than ever before. It continues to cater to industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics, reinforcing its position as a top-tier simulation solution.
