COULOMB

INTEGRATED Engineering Software presents COULOMB, a powerful 3D electric field design and analysis software featuring our innovative Boundary Element Method (BEM) technology, especially well suited for applications where the design requires a large open field analysis and exact model of the boundaries. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is also available in the same package, allowing designers to select the most suitable solver according to the application, and verify independently the results within just one program. COULOMB combines exceptional ease of use, speed and accuracy all in one fully-integrated software package. COULOMB is used for applications like:

3D Isosurface contour plots

  • Transformers
  • Insulators, bushings, grounding electrodes
  • Micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS)
  • High voltage shields
  • Power transmission lines
  • Telecommunication cables
  • Lenses for beam deflection
  • Micro strip and integrated circuits
  • Parts and assemblies subject to electrical fields

Fast and accurate, COULOMB's calculations include electric field strength, force, torque and capacitance.

Our powerful parametric solvers allow designers to automatically vary and experiment with geometry, materials and sources – reducing the tedious, repetitive task of fine–tuning multiple design parameters.

COULOMB reduces design time while improving product performance by letting you design via computer simulations thereby reducing costs and risks associated with physical prototyping.

COULOMB is also easy-to-learn, so you can focus on product development, not software training.
