MDM Usage Basics
MDM is not loaded up by default when you start SIMetrix/SIMPLIS. It will be loaded the first you time you want to create or modify a magnetic device using MDM, or run a simulation with MDM. MDM launches its own graphical user interface (GUI) consisting of:
- Main MDM window: used to create or modify a model of a magnetic device.
- Output window: shows useful information during the creation of a model, and detailed progress information during a simulation.
- Results windows: appear after a simulation with MDM has been completed, showing detailed results for a magnetic device.
- MagDB: the MDM database containing materials, cores, and wires from which the magnetic devices are built.
