Why use CAE software for sensor design?
Apr 29, 2025

Electromagnetic principles are at the heart of many types of sensor systems. CAE software is an essential design tool for any sensor system that requires the analysis of electromagnetic fields. Without the insights that only CAE software can provide, the design process will almost always revert to inefficient and expensive trial-and-error prototyping.
Are you looking for a sensor analysis software to:
• Eliminate inefficient and expensive trial-and-error prototyping and improve sensor design
• Simulate multiple phenomena to represent the underlying physics in a device
• Predict which objects will have a measurable effect on the sensor system
Key Features:
• Dedicated solvers for magnetic, electric, and high-frequency field analysis
• Built-in support for transient and steady-state simulations
• Parametric Optimization for automated design comparison and performance tuning
• Advanced Mesh Settings for fine-tuning mesh density and control—ensuring greater accuracy in critical areas without unnecessary computational load
• Seamless CAD model import from SolidWorks, Autodesk, and more.
Simulation Software with Advanced Capabilities for Easy and Accurate Sensor Design
INTEGRATED’s CAE software suite has more powerful features for sensor designer engineers, including modeling of:
• Hysteresis behavior
• Laminated multilayer structures
• Material anisotropy
These upgrades allow engineers to accurately simulate nonlinear, history-dependent responses, analyze layered assemblies, and evaluate direction-specific material behavior—key to optimizing next-generation sensor systems for precision, durability, and stability.
Parametric studies can be run across variables such as:
• Geometry
• Magnet orientation
• Current densities
• Voltage and operating frequencies
This analysis helps you predict sensor output while maintaining constraints on size, cost, and power.
Whether you are designing sensors for harsh environments or fine-tuning performance for sensitive applications, INTEGRATED’s simulation programs provide the accuracy and flexibility you need to stay ahead.
Our Software Programs suitable for Sensor Analysis
MAGNETO(2D) or AMPERES(3D): Ideal for modeling magnetic field behavior in sensor systems, especially those involving large air gaps.
OERSTED(2D) or FARADAY(3D): Analyze eddy current sensor, particularly in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) applications. Simulate effects of induced currents and/or transients, skin and proximity effects, and compute AC resistance and coil power losses with precision. Current densities in conductors can be calculated for steady-state sinusoidal sources or general user-defined transient signals.
ELECTRO(2D) or COULOMB(3D) provides complete electric field analysis capabilities for a wide range of sensor applications.
Our software delivers high-fidelity results across a broad spectrum of physical systems, enabling accurate calculations of field plots, flux linkage, inductance, current densities, power loss, and more. Whether you're working with high-precision capacitive sensors or robust magnetic pickups, INTEGRATED's solutions help reduce prototyping cycles and ensure design integrity.
From early-stage design to production-ready prototypes, INTEGRATED gives you the insight to build reliable, high-performance sensors for any application.
