ArcelorMittal Gives Electrical Simulator Access to its Electrical Steel Data
05/10/2016 - ArcelorMittal has agreed to share material data about its electrical steels with a simulation software designer, the steelmaker announced on Tuesday.
AccelcorMittal said it will provide data to the maker of JMAG software, which simulates the functioning of electric devices and has been used in the development of thousands of products.
“High-quality material data is essential for our customers to make successful simulations. Obtaining genuine material information from leading steel manufacturers is one of the key drivers of our strategy,” said Takashi Yamada, a product leader at JMAG.
“ArcelorMittal’s leading range of electrical steels, its geographical presence and its advanced engineering skills, including material modeling for finite element analysis, made it key for us to integrate them into our software.”
ArcelorMittal and JMAG’s publisher, JSOL Corp., announced the agreement at the Coil Winding, Insulation & Electrical Manufacturing Exhibition in Berlin. ArcleorMittal said the companies established their relationship in 2015.
It said it believes that sharing the data will allow for more efficient electric motors, generators and transformers. And, it could encourage development of electric cars, ArcelorMittal said.
“The development of electric vehicles is happening fast in Europe. Integrating our electromagnetic steel data into the tool allows faster and more accurate simulations for applications such as hybrid cars or 100% electrical vehicles,” said Sigrid Jacobs, portfolio director for electrical steels at ArcelorMittal’s global research and development unit.
The company also said the move will foster communication between product engineers and ArcelorMittal specialists, who can offer advanced material characterization data, in-house loss models and advice on steel manufacturing techniques.
