Short Introduction to SIMULIA Opera Simulation Software
The foundations of Opera were laid in the late 1970s when the Rutherford Appleton (Particle Accelerator) Laboratory needed simulation capabilities to design the latest generation of high-field magnets, for steering and focusing charged particle beams. The software was commercialized in the early 1980s as demand grew among the accelerator community for the accuracy that the design process demanded—and Opera could deliver. In common with particle accelerators, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners require high magnetic fields, and parts per million homogeneity. Therefore, it was a natural progression to this field for Opera. The high field required for an MRI is typically produced by superconducting magnets. To address this problem, Opera provides specialist tools to assist the design engineer in analyzing a superconducting quench (the sudden loss of superconductivity) and designing the necessary protection circuits. Transient events such as these require accurate modeling of eddy currents and, due to Opera’s ability to solve eddy current problems, it was a natural progression into the field of electrical machine design. Today Opera can simulate a wide variety of electromagnetic and electromechanical devices, accurately, efficiently and robustly.
