Bongard Retarder Proofer Manual Software. 24, 2002--Ansoft Corporation today launched a new campaign to expand the use of its electromagnetic and electrostatic simulation software by offering a free subset of the company's commercially available Maxwell 2D. The software, marketed as Maxwell(R) SV, contains advanced 2D electric fields, AC/DC magnetic fields, and eddy-current solvers that engineering design professionals, professors, and students use to design components such as sensors, actuators, motors, and transformers. 'When I founded Ansoft 18 years ago, I believed that electromagnetic field simulation would become increasingly important to mainstream electrical design,' said Zoltan Cendes, Ansoft's Chairman and Chief Technology Officer. 'That vision is truer today than ever before. And we're accelerating this trend by offering a free version of software that is already widely used in the industry.
