ALTERNATIVE — ALTAIR FLUX
NO ALTAIR LICENSE
NO FEM MESH
BROWSER-NATIVE
The free Altair Flux alternative.
Altair Flux (and FluxMotor) is a low-frequency electromagnetic FEA package — and overkill for early-stage inductive WPT coil exploration. AirInduct Sim covers the magnetostatic WPT regime that drives most Flux coil-design projects, runs in your browser, and starts at $0.
01. · Why teams switch from Altair Flux
- No Altair per-seat license, no token-pool waiting room.
- No FEM mesh setup before the first inductance.
- Eight WPT topology presets out of the box (Helmholtz, DTC, square, cross).
- Runs on any browser, no install, no GPU.
- Public REST API and MCP server for AI agents.
02. · Where Altair Flux still wins
Nonlinear iron-core motors, induction heating, transformers and detailed laminated-steel eddy-current loss. AirInduct will get you to a candidate WPT coil in seconds; Flux is where the loss / thermal certification lap belongs.
03. · Migration path
Build and sweep your coil in AirInduct, export geometry and parameter sets, then drop them into Altair Flux for the final loss / thermal pass.
