EMWorks covers 34 electromagnetic and multiphysics applications, from motors and transformers to RF components, EV charging systems, and biomedical devices. Simulations run directly on your CAD model, so there's no rebuilding geometry or re-meshing in a separate tool. Engineers use it to catch problems before they show up in hardware: cogging torque in a motor, SAR levels in an implant, signal integrity on a PCB. Every result is backed by real physics.

Category

Actuators, Solenoids & Electromechanical

Electromagnetic actuators, solenoids and electromechanical systems must meet force, stroke and response-time targets within size and power limits. EMWorks electromagnetic simulation computes fields, force, current, heating and losses on the 3D geometry so you can tune coil turns, materials and dimensions and verify performance before building hardware.

Eddy Current Brakes

Linear and rotational actuators

Antennas & Radomes

Antennas and radomes set the link budget, pattern and coverage of RF and microwave systems. EMWorks antenna simulation models planar-printed, waveguide and wire antennas with their radomes and surrounding structures, so you can predict impedance, radiation patterns and losses on the 3D geometry and adjust materials, shapes and placement before testing.

Electric Vehicle

Electric vehicles combine high currents, fast switching and tight packaging, which makes electromagnetic effects critical. EMWorks models motors, inverters, battery busbars, charging coils and cables on their 3D geometry, computing fields, forces, losses, temperature rise and EMI so you can check performance and clearances and adjust designs before tests.

EV Battery Charging

Electrical Machines & Drives

Electrical machines and drives must hit targets for torque, speed range, efficiency, noise and thermal limits. EMWorks models motors, generators, stators, rotors and drive-related components, computing flux, torque, core and copper losses, forces and temperature rise so you can compare topologies and adjust geometry, materials and cooling before tests.

Electromagnetic Interference & Compatibility

Electromagnetic interference can cause resets, data errors and failures, while EMC standards limit radiated and conducted emissions. EMWorks simulates fields and currents in PCBs, cables, housings and shields, so you can identify critical coupling paths, size filters and shielding, and check margins against EMI / EMC limits before lab testing.

EMI/ EMC

Category

Electronic Design Automation & Electronics

High-speed electronics depend on controlled impedance, low crosstalk and stable power delivery across chip, package and PCB. EMWorks models traces, vias, packages, connectors and planes in 3D, computing fields, S-parameters, delay, eye-diagram metrics and losses so you can debug signal and power integrity issues and tune layouts before fabrication.

Magnets & Magnet Arrays

Permanent magnets and magnet arrays appear in couplings, maglev systems, magnetic bearings, sensors and actuators. EMWorks models magnets, steel parts and coils on their 3D geometry, computing flux density, force, torque, stiffness, cogging and stray fields so you can adjust magnet grade, orientation, spacing, back-iron and shielding before building hardware.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What types of electromagnetic applications does EMWORKS support?

EMWORKS supports 34 application areas including electric motors, generators, transformers, RF and microwave components, antennas, EV battery charging, induction heating, biomedical devices, MEMS, eddy current brakes, magnetic levitation, PCBs, and multiphysics simulations coupling EM with thermal and structural physics.

Can EMWORKS simulate electric motors and generators?

Yes. EMWORKS models PMSM, BLDC, induction, SRM, and other motor types as well as synchronous and permanent-magnet generators. Engineers can evaluate torque, efficiency, losses, cogging, and temperature distribution directly from 3D CAD models, before any physical prototype is built.

Does EMWORKS support multiphysics simulation?

Yes. EMWORKS couples electromagnetic simulation with thermal physics (electro-thermal) and structural mechanics (magneto-structural). This means you can capture temperature rise, hotspots, stress, and deformation all in one simulation, without exporting results to a second tool.

What industries use EMWORKS simulation software?

EMWORKS is used by engineers in automotive and EV, aerospace and defense, industrial power, consumer electronics, medical devices, telecommunications, and semiconductor industries. Any team designing systems with electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic fields can benefit from EMWORKS simulation.

Which CAD tool is compatible with EMWORKS

EMWORKS has a built-in CAD interface compatible with Autodesk Inventor. You can also import your geometry from any CAD software you use.

How does electromagnetic simulation reduce prototyping costs?

By simulating designs in 3D before building hardware, engineers identify performance gaps, optimize geometry and materials, and validate against specifications. This reduces the number of physical prototypes needed, shortens development cycles, and cuts material and testing costs, often by several iterations.

Can I try EMWORKS before buying?

You may be eligible for a free trial of EMWORKS, allowing you to test the software with your own designs and explore simulation results before making a purchase decision. Visit the Free Trial page on EMWorks website to request access.
