Simulation Software for the Virtual Design and Analysis of Magnetic Sensor Systems

  • Designing magnetic sensor modules is a complex process often relying on simulation to avoid costly and time-consuming prototypes. However, existing simulation tools are typically generic, leading to key limitations: magnetic field data cannot be exported for detailed analysis, interfaces are overloaded with unnecessary features while lacking essential ones, and resource demands are unnecessarily high. To address these drawbacks, we have developed a dedicated software solution at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau that combines functionality, intuitiveness, computational efficiency, and openness. Users can define geometric and material properties through an intuitive interface, with all process data, including sensor signals and magnetic field distributions, available for in-depth analysis. The modular architecture enables easy integration of custom sensors, streamlining the development of new magnetic sensor designs. The software is open-source, written in Python, freely available on GitHub, and can be extended without restrictions.
