CENOS Simulation Software

How do you combine FreeCAD with simulation software?

Getting the surface hardness just right usually means endless trials and errors.

But there's a better way.

We collaborated with Aleksander Sadowski, a FreeCAD expert (https://alsado.de), who was very interested in seeing how to combine FreeCAD with CENOS simulation software to digitally test induction heating setups.

He prepared the model in FreeCAD and we ran the simulation with different parameters to test the design of that vice.

We had some incredibly young engineers visit our CENOS office to shadow our engineers. They were full of curiosity and energy, and even simulated and measured the temperature drop of a cup of tea! It's amazing to see such budding talent at such a tender age. Big kudos to Vadims Geza, Malvīne Nelda Strakova, and Alvis Eimuss for taking care of these very-young engineers. It's never too early to start exploring the world of engineering! 😄🔬👩‍🔬

An independent comparison of Antenna Magus, CST, and CENOS RF 👉 https://www.cenos-platform.com/post/an-independent-comparison-of-antenna-magus-cst-and-cenos-rf

Just recently we received independent comparison results from Philip Catherwood, a Ph.D. in wireless communications from Queen's University Belfast. He's always very interested in researching new technologies and comparing possible options for different software. We're proud to share such a comparison from a real expert in this field.

Take a look at his latest results comparing CST, Antenna Magus, and CENOS RF with a particular antenna. This time he wanted to try three different simulation software and compare the results, ease of use, and price. The antenna chosen was a planar inverted F antenna on FR4.
