A "study" within EMWorks is essentially a specific design scenario, encompassing several key components. It is defined by an analysis type, such as EMS/Magnetostatic or HFWorks/Antennas, and includes various attributes like study properties (e.g., name, frequency, matrix solver type), material properties, boundary conditions, excitations, and a mesh. After being solved, a study generates a comprehensive set of corresponding results and a log file, providing valuable insights and data for your electromagnetic simulations and design processes. These studies serve as the foundation for exploring and optimizing different aspects of your electromagnetic systems or components. 

In the field of electromagnetics, there are two distinct sub-domains known as low-frequency and high-frequency electromagnetics. These domains are both governed by Maxwell's equations, which describe the fundamental principles of electromagnetic behavior.
Low-Frequency Electromagnetics: The low-frequency domain encompasses a wide range of electromagnetic devices and phenomena. These include components such as bushings, insulators, circuit breakers, power generators, transformers, electric motors, capacitors, magnetic levitation devices, synchronous machines, DC machines, permanent magnet motors, actuators, solenoids, and more. In essence, any application where displacement currents can be considered negligible falls within the low-frequency domain. The absence of significant displacement currents allows for the decoupling of electric and magnetic fields, resulting in a static or quasi-static electromagnetic scenario.
Frequencies in the low-frequency domain typically span from Direct Current (DC) up to a few hundred megahertz (MHz). While this range is considered "low" when compared to the entire electromagnetic spectrum, it encompasses a vast array of practical applications and devices.

High-Frequency Electromagnetics: Conversely, the high-frequency domain revolves around the study of electromagnetic waves and the propagation of energy through various materials. Distinguishing between high-frequency and low-frequency can sometimes be nuanced. Generally, electromagnetic fields in which displacement currents cannot be neglected belong to the high-frequency domain. Displacement currents couple electric and magnetic fields, resulting in a fully dynamic electromagnetic scenario.
Examples of devices and phenomena associated with high-frequency electromagnetics include antennas, waveguides, transmission lines, filters, couplers, and dielectric resonators, among others. These components often involve the generation and manipulation of electromagnetic waves.
High-frequency electromagnetics typically encompasses frequencies ranging from a few megahertz (MHz) to several hundred gigahertz (GHz). While considered "high" within the context of electromagnetics, this range is still relatively small when compared to the broader electromagnetic spectrum.

These two electromagnetics domains, low-frequency and high-frequency, offer unique insights and applications within the field, each with its own set of challenges and opportunities.

The EMWORKS Startups Program gives early-stage companies access to the same 2D and 3D electromagnetic simulation tools used in industry, priced to fit a startup budget. It's aimed at teams building products where electromagnetic behavior matters, such as motors, power electronics, sensors, wireless power systems, or RF components.

Eligible startups typically get discounted commercial licenses at pricing adapted to early-stage companies, access to the relevant modules such as EMAG, RF & MICROWAVE, and MOTORS depending on the application, engineering support for model setup and result interpretation, and learning resources like webinars and examples focused on common startup use cases. The exact package is adjusted to the company's product, expected usage, and stage.

The program generally fits companies developing a physical product where electromagnetic performance matters, operating as an independent startup rather than an internal project inside a larger company, and at an early or growth stage rather than full-scale production. Startups unsure of their eligibility can still reach out; a short description of the company and product is usually enough to confirm.

The process starts with an initial contact describing the company, product, and expected simulation needs, followed by an eligibility check to confirm program fit. Qualified applicants receive a proposal with a suggested license and support package, pricing, and duration appropriate to their stage. Once agreed, onboarding includes providing licenses, installation help, and an initial session to review the startup's first models and studies.

Startups in the program commonly evaluate early motor, actuator, or generator concepts before building prototypes; analyze busbars, connectors, and power distribution hardware for current density, temperature rise, and insulation stress; design inductors, transformers, and magnetic components for power electronics; develop wireless power transfer systems and coils; and study antennas and RF components for communication or sensing applications.

Yes. A common use case in the program is preparing quantitative simulation results, such as performance data and design comparisons, for technical discussions with customers or investors, giving early-stage teams engineering evidence to support their claims.

Startups can apply directly through the EMWORKS website with a short application describing the company, product, and planned use of simulation. That's usually enough for EMWORKS to evaluate eligibility and propose a suitable license and support package.

EMWORKS EMAG is EMWorks finite-element solver for low- to medium-frequency electromagnetic simulation. Engineers use it to design and validate electric machines, transformers, actuators, sensors, and other electromechanical parts, covering static, AC, and transient magnetic and electric field problems in 2D, 2D axisymmetric, and full 3D.

EMWORKS EMAG goes beyond isolated field analysis through Circuit Coupling, which links the 3D field model to an electrical schematic in a bidirectional simulation. This captures real operating behavior, including back-EMF and saturation, under both transient and steady-state conditions, so component-level results translate directly into system-level insight.

EMWORKS EMAG works alongside EMWORKS thermal, structural, and motion analysis tools, plus EMWORKS RF & MICROWAVE for devices that span both low and high-frequency behavior. Forces and losses computed in EMWORKS EMAG carry over directly as loads for thermal and structural studies on the same model.

Models can be built natively in EMWORKS integrated CAD, powered by Autodesk Inventor, or brought in from external CAD systems with assembly structure intact. Everything, modeling, solving, and post-processing, stays in one environment, so there's no version drift between the CAD file and the simulation. Parametric geometry makes it straightforward to run design sweeps.

EMWORKS EMAG calculates torque, cogging, core and copper losses, and demagnetization risk for permanent-magnet, induction, and synchronous-reluctance machines, at both steady-state and transient operating points. This supports efficiency and reliability improvements for motors used in automotive, aerospace, industrial, and energy applications.

EMWORKS EMAG covers a wide span of low- and medium-frequency electromagnetic problems, including: 

• Electrical Machines: motors, generators, actuators, solenoids
• Power Systems: transformers, busbars, and power-electronics components
• Sensors & Biomedical Devices: magnetic sensors and actuator-driven medical equipment

Because CAD, simulation, and post-processing live in a single environment, EMWORKS EMAG shortens the iteration loop between design changes and simulation results. That means fewer physical prototypes, faster evaluation of design alternatives, and earlier detection of performance issues in the design cycle. In line with EMWORKS focus on accessible electromagnetic simulation, the bundled CAD-plus-solver license puts electric machine and power-device analysis within reach of smaller engineering teams, not just large organizations with dedicated simulation budgets.

EMWORKS EMAG ships as part of the EMWORKS software suite and is available as a free trial through the EMWorks website.

EMWORKS RF & MICROWAVE is EMWORKS high-frequency finite-element solver for 3D electromagnetic wave simulation. It's used to design and validate antennas, filters, resonators, waveguides, connectors, and high-speed interconnects, computing S-parameters, field distributions, resonant modes, radiation patterns, and time-domain responses such as TDR. For faster setup, users can optionally run a ports-only solution to characterize port behavior before committing to a full-structure solve.

Yes. RF power losses computed in an electromagnetic study can be passed directly to EMWORKS thermal solvers as heat sources, letting engineers estimate temperature rise in high-power components and densely packed RF assemblies without leaving the environment. S-parameters and other circuit-level parameters extracted from the 3D model can also be exported to popular circuit simulators, so the electromagnetic behavior of a component can be verified in a full system-level circuit design.

EMWORKS RF & MICROWAVE couples with EMWORKS thermal and structural analysis tools, and with EMAG for devices that combine low-frequency and high-frequency behavior in the same assembly. Field results and losses carry over directly as inputs to those coupled studies on the same geometry.

Models can be built natively in EMWORKS integrated CAD, powered by Autodesk Inventor, or brought in from external CAD systems with assembly structure intact. Modeling, solving, and post-processing all stay in one environment, so there's no version drift between the CAD file and the simulation. Parametric geometry supports quick tuning of dimensions, feed positions, and material properties.

EMWORKS RF & MICROWAVE evaluates gain, radiation patterns, efficiency, and impedance for antennas and arrays, and extracts S-parameters, Q-factors, and pass-band response for filters and resonators. Wideband frequency sweeps and parametric studies let engineers compare design variants and catch detuning caused by nearby structures such as radomes, housings, or PCBs before prototyping.

EMWORKS RF & MICROWAVE covers a wide span of high-frequency electromagnetic problems, including: 

• Antennas & Arrays: patches, horns, dipoles, monopoles, helicals, conformal antennas
• RF Passive Components: filters, couplers, dividers, crossovers, resonators
• High-Speed Interconnects: connectors, transitions, waveguides, transmission lines

Because CAD, electromagnetic simulation, and thermal coupling live in a single environment, EMWORKS RF & MICROWAVE shortens the loop between a design change and a validated result. That means fewer physical prototypes, earlier detection of detuning or overheating risk, and faster comparison of design alternatives across a frequency sweep. In line with EMWORKS focus on accessible electromagnetic simulation, the bundled CAD-plus-solver license puts full-wave 3D analysis within reach of smaller engineering teams, not just large organizations with dedicated simulation budgets.

EMWORKS RF & MICROWAVE ships as part of the EMWORKS software suite and is available as a free trial through the EMWorks website.

EMWORKS MOTORS is EMWORKS template-driven electric machine design module. It's used to design and evaluate PMSM, IPM, BLDC, SRM, and induction machines, computing torque, torque ripple, back-EMF, cogging torque, flux linkage, inductances, losses, and efficiency on full 2D or 3D geometry.

Yes. Performance data computed in EMWORKS MOTORS, such as flux linkage, inductances, torque, and losses, can be coupled with EMWORKS thermal and structural solvers to evaluate temperature rise and mechanical stress, and linked to circuit-level models to study drive and control interaction under realistic operating conditions.

EMWORKS MOTORS builds on the same EMWORKS EMAG solver core and shares its thermal, structural, and motion coupling. It also works alongside EMWORKS RF & MICROWAVE for machines with high-frequency components such as resolvers or sensor electronics. Forces and losses computed for a motor design carry over directly as inputs to those coupled studies on the same model.

EMWORKS MOTORS built-in CAD tool includes a parametrization panel that turns an existing CAD assembly into a fully defined electric machine, or generates a new design from default templates covering common PMSM, BLDC, SRM, and IPM topologies. A topology editor with auto-correction keeps dimensions consistent with the selected machine configuration, so models can be built from scratch or imported without starting the geometry from zero.

EMWORKS MOTORS calculates torque, torque ripple, cogging torque, back-EMF, flux linkage, inductances, core and copper losses, and efficiency for PMSM, IPM, BLDC, SRM, and induction machines. Parametric studies on airgap length, rotor skew, and magnet placement help engineers reduce torque ripple and improve efficiency before committing to hardware.

EMWORKS MOTORS covers a wide span of electric machine design problems, including: 

• Traction Motors: IPM and PMSM machines for electric and hybrid vehicles
• Industrial Drives: induction and BLDC motors for pumps, fans, and automation
• Specialty Machines: in-wheel motors, generators, and rare-earth-free designs

Because template-driven setup, CAD, and simulation live in a single environment, EMWORKS MOTORS shortens the time from a target specification to a validated design, cutting the number of physical prototypes needed to reach a target torque and efficiency. In line with EMWORKS focus on accessible electromagnetic simulation, the bundled CAD-plus-solver license puts electric machine design within reach of smaller engineering teams, not just large organizations with dedicated simulation budgets.
