Accessible Electromagnetic Simulation Software
Start from existing CAD models or build geometry in the EMWORKS 3D environment to analyze motors, transformers, busbars, inductors and other low-frequency devices in one place.
Use a single environment for modeling, simulation and post-processing instead of handing models between separate tools, reducing the risk of inconsistencies between CAD and simulation models.
Why Engineers Choose the EMWORKS Platform
Import 3D parts and assemblies from existing CAD tools using standard formats, or build geometry directly in EMWORKS. The original assembly structure is preserved so you can run electromagnetic studies without rebuilding models or maintaining multiple versions.
Analyze electromagnetic, thermal and structural effects on the same geometry. Losses and forces computed in EM studies can be used as inputs to thermal and structural analyses so you can evaluate temperature, deformation and safety factors within a single workflow.
EMWorks modules use finite-element solvers for low-frequency and RF electromagnetic problems. Our solvers will reproduce measurement data when models, material properties and excitation conditions are defined accurately, helping to reduce the number of physical prototypes.
You have the flexibility to simulate what your project requires—whether it’s DC fields, mmWave designs, or anything in between.
You can model low-frequency power devices like motors, transformers, solenoids, and busbars, as well as high-frequency RF, microwave, and mmWave components including antennas, filters, and high-speed interconnects—all in one environment.

Our Featured Applications
Examples of real electromagnetic systems engineers simulate with EMWORKS.
Motors and Generators
Analyze torque, cogging, core and copper losses, and demagnetization in permanent-magnet,induction, and synchronous-reluctance machines for steady-state and transient operating points.
Transformers and Inductors
Compute flux distribution, saturation, leakage inductance, core losses, and stray fields in single- and three-phase transformers, chokes, and inductors, including different core materials and winding layouts.
Busbars and Power Distribution
Evaluate DC and AC current distribution, skin and proximity effects, electromagnetic forces, and joule losses in busbars, switchgear, and high-current connections, with optional thermal coupling for temperature rise.
Actuators and Solenoids
Predict forces, strokes, and response times for solenoids, relays, contactors, linear actuators, and position or speed sensors based on detailed coil, core, and air-gap geometry.
Eddy-Current NDT
Model probes, cracks, and conductive targets to study signal changes in eddy-current testing, or compute braking torque and heating in eddy-current brakes and dampers.
Power Cables and High-Current Conductors
Simulate electric and magnetic fields, insulation stress, losses, and temperature in LV/MV/HV power cables, bus ducts, and large conductors, including effects of layouts, shields, and proximity to other structures.
See more examples on the all EMAG applications page, including wireless power transfer, magnetic gears, magnetic bearings, shielding, MRI and gradient coils, and other specialized low- and medium-frequency designs.
