Design Smarter, Simulate Faster, Build Reliable Electrical Systems

Opera – 2D & 3D Electromagnetic and Electromechanical Simulation



Overview

Opera Simulation Software is a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tool that helps engineers simulate electromagnetic and electromechanical systems in 2D and 3D. It strengthens the SIMULIA EM portfolio with advanced low-frequency simulation, ideal for designing magnets, electric motors, and other electrical machines.

Engineers can use Opera from the early design stages to speed up product development. It provides easy-to-use 2D and 3D tools for setup and analysis, along with a simple GUI that streamlines electromagnetic and multiphysics design. Parameterized macros also help automate tasks and make the design process faster.
