What our customers are saying

"BiotSavart is great. It is easy to very quickly go from no knowledge to complicated current configurations in less than an hour. The force calculator is spectacular, allowing for sophisticated mechanical analyses of possible magnet geometries."

- John Doyle, Harvard University

"BiotSavart has proved essential at the design stage to help us engineer the highly specific magnetic environment needed to optimize the spin-transport of state-selected atoms through an apparatus."

- Matthew Rosen, Ph. D., Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

Description

BiotSavart is an application for Mac OS X and Windows XP that calculates the magnetic field resulting from general 3-D configurations of current-carrying conductors. It has proven useful in the design of superconducting and copper coil systems in physics laboratories worldwide. With BiotSavart, you design the conductors while you view them on the screen.

Conductor types

• loop (single loop or coaxial ensemble)
• solenoid (thick or thin)
• racetrack
• cylindrical permanent magnet (revolved current sheet of polygonal cross section)
• wire (any 3-D path composed of straight line segments, arcs, and helices)

Magnet types

• cuboid of hard magnetic material

Magnetic field calculation

• Magnetic field can be calculated along any path and graphed.
• Automatic update of field as you modify the conductors.
• Contour plot of field on specified plane surface.
• Tracer probe to calculate magnetic field lines.
• Volumetric probe to calculate level-set and arrow plots.
• Calculated field can be written to a file for further processing.
• Magnetic vector potential.
• Linked flux calculation (lets you calculate self-inductance and mutual inductance).

System requirements

Windows

• Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
• Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework

Macintosh

• Mac OS X version 10.12 or higher
