In order to create a magnetic sensor module, you have to simulate magnetic behavior, which involves complex physics. Melexis' latest simulation tool costs nothing to use, and provides results that are closer to how the sensor module would perform in the real world. The no-cost online simulation tool for magnetic sensor evaluation and module design is based on Melexis’ Triaxis 2D and 3D sensors, and can design a custom magnetic sensor module to your specifications.
Covering both linear and rotary applications, the high-accuracy tool simulates sensor performance in a given application, including stray-field immunity, to significantly improve and accelerate the design cycle of sensor modules. “Simulation software has become an incredibly powerful and useful resource for engineering teams,” commented Jerome Degois, Regional Marketing Manager at Melexis. “Melexis has developed this online simulator to give customers fast, accurate results at the earliest possible stage in a project’s design. It delivers greater accuracy than other simulators, as it has been specifically developed to simulate how the Triaxis 2D/3D magnetic sensor will react when used with a wide variety of magnets.”
Able to provide results as soon as any parameter is modified, the tool is based on the Streamlit framework and Python library for analytical formulas for simple magnetic shapes (magpylib). Melexis extended this resource create a catalogue of magnets to develop and simulate solutions for any given application.
