AML’s Proprietary Design Software
CoilCAD™ - 3D design and manufacturing software that allows rapid design, optimization and precision fabrication
² Unlike conventional design software and methods, CoilCAD™ describes and optimizes the complete 3D conductor path in arbitrary winding configurations. CoilCAD™ determines all performance aspects of the coil, and generates machine code for precision and highly automated manufacturing
15
Enabling Geometries ² Coil shapes to match desired field -
straight, curved, flared, elliptical
Enabling Features ² Coil windings with combined functions
such as: quadrupoles with superimposed dipoles; twisted quadrupoles
“Extrude” Space Curve ² Conductor cross section (round,
rectangle, polygon, tape, cable) ² Multi-filament representation
Performance Calculations ² Conductor - Length, weight, resistance ² Inductance (self, mutual, stored energy) ² Magnetic fields
o Any point in space uniformly distributed points (Monte Carlo)
o Peak field in winding o Multipole analysis
² Lorentz forces o Within winding pattern o Between different patterns
² Iron calculations and analysis ² Shielding (active and passive) ² Full quench analysis ² Beam optics analysis
Visualization ² All views and cross sections of geometry ² Plots of forces and fields including an
individual conductor
