In the EMS for SOLIDWORKS add-in, we can study how the electromagnetic fields, forces etc., vary as a function of a given parameter. The parameter can be any SOLIDWORKS dimension or any simulation related variable. Examples of SOLIDWORKS dimensions can be mate distance, model dimension,…
Transformer Simulation: How to perform open and short circuit tests easily inside SOLIDWORKS
A transformer is a static electrical machine that transfers electrical energy between 2 or more circuits through the principle of electromagnetic induction. As shown in Figure 1, the transformer consists of a core (usually laminated steel), a primary winding and a secondary winding. A time…
I am sure you have experienced a static electric shock especially on a dry winters day. You probably know this as static electricity. For some people this is extremely annoying but for some others it could be fun. Maybe you wondered why this happens. In…
Engineers empower chefs with induction heating analysis using EMS for SOLIDWORKS
Induction heating is a process of heating an electrical conductor (usually ferromagnetic materials and metals) by electromagnetic induction. The heat generated in the conductor is due to the eddy currents induced in the conductor. In the simplest form, an induction heater consists of a coil…
Rectangular Microstrip Antenna with Spaced Dielectric Superstrates Frequency Study
Microstrip antennas are becoming a popular choice for a wide range of wireless communication. They are lightweight, low cost, and straightforward to design, this application, however, requires that the antenna be placed out of sight of the consumer, beneath protective dielectric superstrates. This placement of…
Example of nonlinear time-transient electromagnetic simulation using EMS for SOLIDWORKS
This is a test rig presented by N. Allen and D.Rodger from the School of Engineering, University of Bath to validate a nonlinear time-transient electromagnetic simulation. The 3D representation of the rig is shown below in figure 1 along with the dimensions. A link to the paper…
Currently, we all know how bluetooth and wireless internet work, and use them frequently in our day-to-day life; it is regarded widely as the bedrock of modern communication. Numerous devices like Roku, Apple TV etc., allow you to stream internet programming directly to your TV thanks to…
Electric Motor design process is hypercharged with SOLIDWORKS and EMS
The electric motor works on the principle of electromagnetics. After Michael Faraday demonstrated in 1821 that electrical energy could be converted into mechanical energy, the search for an ideal electric motor had started. By 1885, Nicola Tesla was able to give a concept of an…
Designing a Metal Detector with SOLIDWORKS and EMS Simulation software
It is amazing how many applications the theory of Electromagnetics has in today’s world. If Faraday and Maxwell have a chance to view the number of devices that makes use of their discovery, they will be simply blown away. Simply by the impact of their…
