Abstract
The Berdut design is a new alternative with permanent magnets for Maglev transport. The magnetic field and the force generated by the Berdut design were explored for the first time by mean of simulations using the software program Maxwell 2D Version 9. Using mainly the force and magnetic field as the analysis method the importance, effect and function of each element were studied to determine the pros and cons of this alternative. As result some materials were recommended in order to optimize the force magnitude. The main source for dimensions and materials were the patents of this design and Mr. Berdut.

El disefio de Berdut es una nueva alternativa para el transporte masivo basado en levitaci6n magnetica con imanes permanentes. El campo magnetico y la fuerza generados por el disefio de Berdut fueron por primera vez explorados usando simulaciones realizadas en Maxwell 2D version 9. Usando principalmente la fuerza y el campo magnetico como metodo de analisis la importancia, el efecto y funci6n de cada componente fueron estudiados para determinar las ventajas y las desventajas de esta alternativa. Como resultado algunos materiales fueron recomendados com el objetivo de optimizar la fuerza. La principal fuente de informaci6n para las dimensiones y los materiales fueron las patentes del disefio de Berdut y el propio senor Berdut.
