Capacitance calculation using EMS for SolidWorks

Capacitor is an electrical device that can store electrical energy. In a way they are similar to batteries but not exactly the same. In a battery, it is the chemical reactions which produces electrons in one location (also called as a terminal in battery terminology) and the movement of these electrons from one terminal to another results in a current flow. But capacitors don’t produce electrons but only distributes them unevenly. A capacitor can be charged by connecting it to a battery. Once it is charged (and removed from the battery) it stores charges.

The concept of air region in EM Simulation

EMS EMWorks2D

In all EM simulation, the empty spaces (or volumes) within a model and around a model are important. This is because we are interested in computing and plotting the magnetic and electric fields in these regions. Imagine a magnet lying on a table, there is magnetic field inside the magnet (of course) but there is also a magnetic field in the air region surrounding the magnet and also in the table. In order to capture these fields, one must model these empty spaces as 3D geometry along with the components of interest.

Induction heating – Engineers empower chefs

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 through which a high frequency AC current is passed. This high frequency AC current causes rapidly alternating magnetic field which then causes eddy currents in the conductor.

Electro-magnetic or EM simulation is the use of computational techniques to determine the electric and magnetic fields in an electric machine or device. EM simulation can give valuable insight to an engineer about his designs. She can obtain engineering parameters like inductance, flux linkage, impedance, Back EMF, Induced voltage, Capacitance, Forces and Torques etc.
