What We Do
EMWorks Design & Consulting Services
EMWorks provides electromagnetic design and simulation services for teams that need help with specific projects or additional analysis capacity. Using EMWorks software, we build and run models for devices such as motors, transformers, inductors, busbars, sensors, actuators, wireless power systems and RF components. You keep the models, reports and data so your team can reuse them in future work or continue the studies internally.
Service
Categories
Typical Work
Most service projects fall into a few practical categories
Design comparison
Evaluate alternative geometries, materials, slot/pole combinations, or winding schemes using a common simulation setup to identify the best performing option.
Performance verification
Check that a design meets internal or customer limits on temperature, stress, clearance, EMI/EMC, or safety margins before committing to production.
Issue investigation
Analyze overheating, noise, vibration, unexpected forces, or interference seen in tests or in the field to identify and explain electromagnetic root causes.
Design updates
Assess the impact of required changes — different materials, manufacturing constraints, or packaging modifications — using an established simulation baseline.
Model Setup & handover
Build a first validated EMWorks model of your device so your team can continue exploring operating points and design variants in-house.
Project
Scoping
Inputs We Typically Need
To scope a project, we usually need a few basic items.
Device Description
A short description of the device and its operating conditions
Existing CAD or Geometry
Any existing CAD or simplified geometry
Performance Targets
Target performance metrics or a clear statement of the problem to solve
Test Data
Any available measurements or test data for validation purposes
If some of these are missing, we can still start from an approximate description and refine the details as the work progresses.
Sectors
Served
Industries & Device Types
We most often support:
- Motor, generator, and actuator manufacturers
- Power electronics and power distribution equipment suppliers
- Automotive, aerospace, and transportation systems
- Industrial and process equipment
- Medical, sensing, and non-destructive testing devices
- RF, antenna, and communication hardware
These examples are not limiting — projects outside these areas can be discussed case by case.
How We
Work
Tools & Methods
Projects are carried out using EMWorks software based on finite-element analysis, with 2D and 3D models used as appropriate. Depending on the task, we may:
Use steady-state, frequency-domain, or transient solvers
Include motion, thermal, or structural coupling when needed
Calibrate models against available measurements before running design variants
Match model detail and solver settings to the decisions you need to make
How We
Engage
Engagement & IP
Project scope, timelines, and deliverables are agreed in writing before work starts. Models and results created for your project remain available to your organization for internal use. We work under a non-disclosure agreement so that geometry, materials, operating conditions, and results are treated as confidential.

Is This Right
for You?
When Our Services Are a Good Fit
Our services are usually a good fit when:
- You have a specific device or problem in mind, not just a general interest in simulation
- There is at least one clear question to answer (torque, loss, temperature, field level, or safety margin)
- You have, or can provide, basic geometry and operating conditions
- Results will influence a design decision, test plan, or customer discussion
They are usually not a good fit when:
- The goal is only a generic benchmark of several tools
- There is no defined device, operating point, or deadline
- You are looking to outsource an ongoing engineering role rather than a defined project

Work
Example Projects
The details of each project are confidential, but typical examples include:
Reducing overheating in a high-current busbar assembly by evaluating alternative layouts and copper cross-sections.
Comparing rotor and stator designs for an electric motor to balance torque, efficiency and material use over a range of speeds.
Investigating local saturation and force ripple in an actuator to understand noise and vibration seen during testing.
Estimating temperature rise and insulation stress in a transformer under overload and unbalanced conditions.
Supporting the design of an inductive wireless power system by studying coil geometry, coupling and stray fields.
These examples are representative rather than exhaustive — similar work can be scoped for other devices and applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often before a project kicks off.
Alongside its simulation software, EMWORKS provides CAD, electromagnetic, and coupled multiphysics consulting, ranging from targeted simulation support to complete design and optimization projects, including CAD modeling, simulation setup, proof-of-concept studies, design from scratch, troubleshooting, and performance optimization for motors, generators, busbars, switchgear, inductors, transformers, eddy-current and permanent-magnet systems, wireless charging, induction heating, EMC/EMI, and RF and signal integrity. The team works with startups and inventors on feasibility studies and proof-of-concept data to support patent development and funding efforts, and with established engineering teams that need specialized electromagnetic expertise or extra engineering capacity.
Engagements typically start by defining scope, technical requirements, available data, and expected deliverables, followed by CAD and simulation model development, analysis, and result reviews through regular progress meetings. Where possible, results are validated against calculations, measurements, manufacturer data, or existing product performance, and final deliverables can include native simulation files, CAD models, technical reports, tabulated results, 2D/3D field plots, and engineering recommendations.
Yes. EMWORKS continues supporting customers after delivery, helping interpret results, evaluate design changes, and make engineering decisions based on the simulation data, and provides software and simulation training so customers can confidently modify and reuse the models for future design iterations.
Yes. When a project needs more than the standard modules provide, EMWorks consulting team develops custom algorithms, simulation tools, or software extensions tailored to the specific electromagnetic problem, then integrates that work into the client's existing workflow.
Yes. EMWorks engineers provide expert witness services for legal disputes involving electromagnetics, including technical analysis, written reports, and authoritative testimony for cases such as product liability claims and patent litigation.
EMWorks consulting spans electromechanical and power systems such as motors, actuators, transformers, and busbars; RF and high-frequency electronics such as antennas, waveguides, and interconnects; and specialized domains including automotive electromagnetics, aerospace and defense, and renewable energy systems such as solar and wind.
Engagements start with a consultation where EMWorks team discusses the project's technical specifications, functionality, and any special requirements before proposing a scope of work. Prospective clients can reach out through the EMWorks website to begin that conversation.
