Field Precision KB Electromagnetics Free to
Schools
 ALBUQUERQUE,
NM, Nov 2, 2009 - Field Precision LLC has announced the availability of KB, a free educational
package to model material response at high temperature and pressure. The
comprehensive suite includes 1D and 2D simulation codes for shock phenomena and
denotations.
KB, a comprehensive educational package of reference material and
computer codes to model materials at high temperature and pressure, has been
released by Field Precision LLC. The Windows programs, available at no
charge to educational institutions and industries, may be used in computer
laboratories or distributed to students. The package is of particular
interest to physicists, mechanical engineers and civil engineers. It
provides students with a hands-on introduction to the hydrodynamic
equations, the equation of state and critical concepts like the Hugoniot
curve.
The KB package includes the following
components:
- Equation-of-state data for a wide variety of materials for densities
up to 1000 times the normal value and temperature to 100 million degrees
Kelvin.
- A 130-page instruction manual reviews essential shock and detonation
physics and discusses benchmark tests to illustrate accuracy issues in
numerical modeling..
- A interactive utility to calculate and to plot Hugoniot curves and
other hydrodynamic quantities from EOS data.
- A 1D hydrodynamic simulation code with graphical postprocessor for
planar, cylindrical and spherical geometries.
- A 2D code suite for simulations of shocks and detonations.
- Ready to run benchmark and application examples.
The 2D suite is the centerpiece of the KB package. It employs a unique
finite-element approach based on a deformable mesh that provides automatic
zone refinement. The code handles geometries with either planar or
cylindrical symmetry. Students have complete flexibility to specify the
system geometry, material types and initial conditions. The self-contained
package includes graphical postprocessors for spatial and temporal data as
well as the educational version of the Field Precision Mesh program. This
utility creates conformal meshes to describe the initial system state. It
features an integrated CAD editor with the option to import DXF files.
Universities and industries may obtain KB at

Other free educational resources (including textbooks on accelerator
technology and charged-particle beams and finite-element software for
electromagnetic fields) are available at
