Hello! Thank you for trying Student’s QuickField - finite-element analysis package for electrostatics, AC and DC magnetics, current flow, heat transfer and stress analysis. You've probably had a chance to use some field analysis packages, and maybe you asked yourself, why too many of them are so inconvenient, why they always try to flood your poor HD, why you must browse thousands and thousands of pages in manuals before analyzing quite a simple problem. We asked ourselves too. And we decided to prove that a rather complicated problem could be described in ten minutes and solved in ten seconds, that one can obtain exactly what he needs from the field picture by pressing several buttons, that finite element stuff could be handled as easy as a pocket calculator. QuickField 4.2T is a native Windows application designed to run on Windows 95/98/NT. To install it you have to run setup.exe and then follow instructions displayed on screen. Student's QuickField 4.2T is free software. Distribution limitations are described in the License Agreement, which is displayed at the installation procedure. In this new version you will find many improvements. New ways to define a problem, new ways to present results - QuickField has become even more friendly and convenient tool. We hope you will enjoy using it! In case you already have the experience of QuickField use - here is the short list of main changes in QuickField 4.2T comparing to the previous version 4.2: QuickField is now capable of solving transient nonlinear heat transfer problems, with arbitrary initial field distribution, nonlinear specific heat and flexible time parameters. This new feature is connected with enhancements in every part of the package: · New transient solver allows for time-dependent nonlinear field computation with unbeatable speed – all within minutes on moderate workstation – as you get used with QuickField but in time domain. · Coupling features are extended. You can simulate transient heat transfer process taking initial temperature distribution from another problem – transient or steady state. It is also possible to perform thermo-structural analysis based on temperature distribution at any given moment of time. · Data and problem editors now allow setting timing parameters and editing temperature-dependent specific heat. Yet the compatibility with steady-state heat transfer analysis of old versions is supported: you can transfer your old problems to transient analysis with minimum editing. · New postprocessor for transient thermal analysis is designed to make analysis most fast and convenient. It provides: · Fast switching between time layers in field picture. · Visualization of time-dependency: XY-plots or table views. · Single-click transfer between space and time distribution any point clicked with a mouse. · New powerful control for setting up XY-plot curves. · multiple point and/or quantities in one plot. · Export of time dependencies to other formats. Please, refer to QuickField Help for detailed explanation of these new features or changes comparing to versions older than 4.1. If your problem requires finer mesh - just contact us! We have developed a much more powerful version of our software. It is able to solve problems with hundreds of thousands degrees of freedom on any PC within minutes! The preconditioner based on our original Geometric Decomposition(TM) technique guarantees very high speed and very weak correlation between the number of nodes and the required solution time.
