EMS offers a complete suite of solvers to cover all your electro-mechanical analysis needs. Whether you are interested in Electrostatic analysis, Conduction problems, Magnetostatics, AC Magnetics or Transient analysis, you need EMS.

By leveraging the full power of SolidWorks and the accuracy of ElectroMagneticWorks' advanced Finite Element Analysis, EMS sets the standards for productivity in electromagnetic design of DC/AC motors, transformers, circuit breakers, etc.

 

ElectroMagneticWorks EMS Solvers & Benefits

Electrostatic Analysis

Electrostatic AnalysisDoes your design require careful attention to dielectric breakdown or electronic discharge issues? Are corona effects of interest/concern to you? Are you worried about sparking and grounding? Do you work on linear or circular particle acceleration? Is the success of your MEMS design hinging on the proper electrostatic actuation? What about proper shielding of circuits and cross-talk among transmission lines?

EMS's electrostatic solver allows you to gain insight into your design through electroatics potential and filed distributions results as well capacitance and electrostatic force calculations.

Conduction

ConductionWill your system require protection against over voltage conditions? Do you need to sense/measure current flow in your device? Do you have the right resistance value at the proper location? What is the impact of the conductivity on your power budget? Will power dissipation require you to review your thermal management plans? Are you working with biological tissues and need to accurately model their electric behaviour?

The conduction solver of the EMS package targets current flow problems where current distribution, resistance, power dissipation and over voltage issues are of interest.

Magnetostatics

MagnetostaticsAre you concerned about magnetic saturation? Do you need to minimize the cogging torque? Do you want to optimize torque and minimize driving current? Are you worried about brush wear? How much force and torque can you get from your solenoids without overheating their windings? Is it possible for you to lower weight and cost by trimming excess material from ferromagnetic cores?

Whether you are using permanent magnets of coils, linear, or non-linear materials, EMS's magnetostatic solver is the ideal tool to help you get a handle on your design.

AC Magnetics

AC MagneticsDoes your design require you to reduce Eddy current losses for better efficiency? Do you need to minimize skin effects in solid coils? Is your AC motor design limited by ripples, vibration and noise? Is minimizing flux leakage and leakage inductance in your transformer of importance to you? How to optimize coil design to build better metal detectors and non-destructive testing equipment?

The AC Magnetic module calculates the effects of alternating currents (AC) or voltages in electromagnetic devices. These effects include eddy currents, skin effects, and power loss due to eddy currents. The magnetic field, magnetic flux density, and eddy currents are directly computed from the solution. Auxiliary quantities such as inductance, force, torque, flux linkage, and eddy current losses are deduced from the primary calculations.

Transient

TransientHow will your design respond to a power failure or a switch-off? Will it withstand a pulsed power surge? How do your nonlinear materials behave under transient conditions? What is the impact of coupled Eddy currents and saturation on your design? Are you working with magnetic heads, pulsed power transformers or electromagnetic launchers?

The Transient Magnetic module calculates magnetic fields that vary over time in electromagnetic devices. These fields are typically caused by surges in voltages and currents. This type of analysis can be linear or non-linear. The magnetic field, magnetic flux density, and eddy currents are directly computed from the solution. Auxiliary quantities such as inductance, force, torque, flux linkage, and eddy current losses are deduced from the primary calculations.

Thermal

Thermal analysis is directly coupled to electromagnetic simulation. Power dissipated in conductors is used as heat source in the thermal analysis to predict temperature distribution.
