Sensors are required almost everywhere. This may include measuring the fuel in your tank, monitoring the position of a shaft or measuring the speed of a device. Many of these measurements are made by producing a magnetic field using a magnet and then measuring flux produced by the magnet at one or more locations.
As most of these problems involve large amounts of free space, the boundary element method is ideally suited for these applications. Voltage calculations are simply derived by the software calculating the rate of change of flux within a coil. This, determining the size of magnets and coil or the desired amount of turns per coil to optimize the design, can be automated easily. Contour plots, graphs, isosurfaces and arrow plots enable the designer to see the “flow” of the magnetic field to optimize sensors locations.
