The Magnetic and Electric Field 2D Simulation Software
EMWorks2D
EMWorks2D is a low frequency simulation software that uses FEM to solve magnetic, electric and transient problems. Both planar and axisymmetric invariance geometries can be handled in 2D, which can shorten the design process.
It enables you to test and improve your designs in record time. Having an intuitive workflow, EMWorks2D integrates seamlessly into the SOLIDWORKS environment, for a truly effortless and engaging simulation experience.
EMWorks2D can be used to predict the performance of transformers, actuators, electric motors, generators, permanent magnet, inductors, magnetic gears, busbars, sensors, bushings, capacitors, insulators, wireless chargers and more…

Main Features and capabilities
2D Electromagnetic field simulation: EMWorks2D allows you to accurately solve both electric and magnetic problems. It includes these solvers: electrostatic, magnetostatic and transient solver.
User-friendly and intuitive user interface: EMWorks2D is an easy-to-use program with intuitive workflow helps you to achieve your objectives effectively. It follows the same philosophy of SOLIDWORKS workflow, which makes the learning curve short.
Parametric simulation: EMWorks2D allows you to study the effects of the geometric or/and simulation parameters changes on the design. Parametric simulation is based on user-defined scenarios formed by single or multi parameters.
Mechanical motion coupling: MWorks2D allows to couple a transient magnetic study to mechanical motion. Thus, EMWorks2D can be used as a motor design software and can be used to virtually study critical electric motor design parameters including: cogging torque, back emf, short circuit response, load torque, current and voltage results, core loss, eddy current loss, winding loss, inductance profile, resistance, flux linkage and more.

Lab. of Renewable Energies and Electric Vehicles (RELEV), University of Sfax, ENISAnalytical Based Design of FSPMMs: A Comparison Between Surface-Mounted PMs and Consequent-Pole Topologies
The present paper is devoted to a comparison-based investigation of two fractional slot permanent magnet machines: (i) a surface mounted permanent magnet (SPM) machine and (ii) a consequent poles permanent magnet machine (CPM). This latter is obtained by the substitution of the PMs that corresponds to south poles by iron pieces of same geometry. In a first step, the analytical model of the air gap flux density generated by a SPM topology is presented. To fit the CPM concept, such model has been rearranged based on a virtual SPM machine. The validation of both analytical models is carried out using a EMWorks2D software package. The second part of the paper focuses the no-and on-load features exhibited by the two machines under investigation. The comparison of these features highlights the cost-effectiveness improvement of the CPM machine over the conventional SPM one.

Denis Frank - Research & Development
Schienle Magnettechnik + Elektronik GmbHThe relation with EMWorks has been easily accessible because of a quick implementation of our software into SW. CAD-files are transfered easily with an automated "2D simplification"-tool. The function as well as the interface of the Software are intuitive, which allows us to finish simulations autonomously in less than 10 minutes from the CAD file.
Whenever we have trouble EMWorks supports within little time to our full satisfaction.

List-Magnetik Dipl.-Ing. Heinrich List GmbHList-Magnetik develops and produces magnetic measuring devices and magnetization systems for all magnetic materials that are used in permanent magnetically excited electric motors. We have been successfully using SOLIDWORKS in combination with EMWORKS for several years to design and calculate these systems.
EMWORKS helps us to carry out precise magnetic field calculations, especially in rare earth applications, which allow a precise analysis of the magnetization devices to achieve faster cycle times in production.
We are very satisfied with the fast service for questions about the EMWORKS software, you always get a quick answer or a problem solution.
