A Lorentz force linear motion actuator was built to deliberately exhibit a highly nonlinear current for force relation even when the coil was completely immersed in the magnetic field. Magnets were arranged radially around the coil but only half the permissible number were included in order to generate a more complex actuator configuration to test the ability of the EMS electromagnetic finite element analysis software to handle more challenging magnetic path geometries. A detailed set of experiments were carried out on the actual actuator and a similar set of analyses were undertaken using the EMS magnetostatic electromagnetic finite element analysis software. EMS correctly accounted for the gross nonlinearities in the current to force measurements.

I am the R&D manager at Verdun Anodizing. Verdun has been in business of anodizing of aerospace and military components for over 70 years.

I used EMS to simulate primary and secondary current distributions in our electrochemical cells using the Electric Conduction module.Using this tool, we succeeded in optimizing the setup of the electrochemical cells by studying various material of the electrodes and the bath parameters such as the acid concentration and temperature.A trial-and-error procedure would have taken us years to achieve the optimal design achieved using EMS. It was a well worth it investment.

The Research & Development Department of the DC Motors division is currently developing a new generation of larger DMI motors.  They use the CAD software package SolidWorks and its Gold Certified electromagnetic Add-in, EMS, from ElectroMagneticWorks to optimize their design.  With the help of these powerful design tools, they aim to develop powerful DC machines.  Such machines will achieve output power and torque significantly higher and more compact than any DC motors available on the market today.

Inovio Pharmaceuticals (formerly Genetronics), specializes in developing technology and hardware that has the potential to allow physicians to more efficiently and cost-effectively deliver life-saving drugs or beneficial genes to patients with catastrophic illnesses, including cancer. The company is the technology leader in electroporation therapy (EPT), the application of very brief, carefully controlled, pulsed electric fields, to human cells. This process causes pores to open in the cell membrane and allows pharmaceuticals or genes, injected in the area prior to the application of the electric pulse, to gain access to the cell's interior. The cell pores close up a short time later, trapping the chemotherapeutic agents inside the cancer cell, so they can destroy the cell

EMS and SolidWorks play a vital role in evaluating the electrical fields used with Inovio's electroporation devices, helping to determine and optimize the electrical field strength throughout the volume of space around the electrodes

EMS and SolidWorks have significantly sped up Inovio product development. "The time savings are so dramatic they are, in a sense, unquantifiable," says Andre. "Using EMS, we can change an electrode geometry and analyze an electrical field within a half hour. If we had to do these three dimensional calculations for the more complicated electrode geometries by hand, it would take days."

For about 2 years we are using EMS, mostly for electrical field calculation in high voltage equipment. Also we are a very young company; we personally have a long time experience using finite element software. To get familiar with EMS, I have had a web seminar. Some hours on some days were enough to start up. The support during the “learning time” by the EMS Team was very good. Now I’m an experienced user, phone calls with the service team become more and more seldom.

What’s the extract?

* EMS is well structured; the use is intuitive and logical.

* It works together with Solid Works without problems.

* The output (reports and pictures) is clear and in very good quality.

* Very good support.

Conclusion: Highly recommended

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to use the ElectroMagneticWorks add-in on SolidWorks. It has been amazing to experiment with.

The simplicity and intuitiveness of the software made it a very rewarding experience when simulating my model for the purpose of writing my dissertation to which I have given full credit to EMS. Although it might seem intimidating to use at first, the tutorials proved to be the ultimate savior.

I have truly learned a lot from this software. Knowledge that are taught in the book were only found to be true to a certain extent and it has gave me a new insight in dealing with electromagnetic designs which I have included in my dissertation.

Keep up the good work."

 

In our bachelor thesis, a patented “bifilar” coil (BC) type permanent magnet generator (PMG) is constructed for scientific research. The features, working principle and elements of the BCPMG are analyzed.

The BCPMG is developed from the iron-cored “bifilar” coil topology based on Aleksas Pašilis's and Eleonora Guseinovien's patent (Lithuania) in an attempt to overcome the problems with current rotary type Generators, which have so far been dominant on the market.

One of the problems is Armature Reactance, which is usually bigger than Resistance.

The circumstance creates difficulties for designers and operators of the Generator.

"...That is why patented technology is offered to partially remove or absolutely neglect the reactance of the machine. We used The Simulation Software EMS:

To get to the flow direction of the Magnetic Flux Densities through the system, which the same is as expected to be.

To test to a real machine. We found the opportunity of the motion simulation, but there wasn't much time for that investigation.

We have made only a 1/5 sector of the generator to keep the resources at minimum.

We used also a Finite Element Magnetic Model (FEMM) to visualize the effects of the system.

To visualize the effects of the 3 phase current to the flow of flux and densities on the system."



 

Non-destructive testing (NDT) team at the Solid State Physics Department of the Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics cooperates on the broad scale with industry representatives in developing methodology and apparatus for magnetic NDT.

Currently we are optimizing Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) with Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) system to evaluate technical condition of pipelines. Such system consists of magnetizing yoke and magnetic field sensors. Working PIG can reach velocity of even 10 m/s due to liquid media pressure. Our job is to model effect of velocity on eddy currents generation and hence distortion of MFL signal.

We have heard about the EMWorks software as a result of searching for Finite Element Modelling (FEM) software which would be adequate for our purposes. After the review of various offers we stated that EMS has all features we need. The great advantage of this package is that it is based on SolidWorks. Thanks to this design of even very complex models becomes child's play. My first magnetostatic model in EMS was created in just a few minuts! I highly recommend EMWorks software for all those who need friendly interface as well as professional FEM software.

"I used the AC Magnetics module within the EMS software to model electromagnetic coupling to a lab-scale molten metal charge.  This modeling was meant to investigate the efficiency and efficacy of inductive coupling as a means to heat and stir a metal solvent for a high temperature crystal growth process.  I found the software to be well integrated with Solidworks, with intuitive menus and feature commands.  The array of parameters available for adjustment was quite broad; I was able to easily set up a good proxy for my actual experimental setup.  The ability to copy/paste an entire study in one step made it especially quick to vary parameters and compare results.

Our design will revolve around the analysis of a new electron catcher (Faraday cup) and design an Electron Catcher for target station EMS from EMWorks has been a valuable tool for integrating electromagnetic component design into our SolidWorks environment.

EMS has allowed us to simplify the development stages for RF and high power AC componentry by reducing the number of experiments required during prototyping. The intuitive user interface combined with the simple transition between the design environment and finite element suite ensure that any required changes to a design can be completed, implemented, and brought back into the EMS environment for further simulation in a very short timeline.

Thank you for your valuable tool and help

I used EMWorks for an undergraduate biomedical engineering project. I am thankful that EMWorks is very well integrated with SolidWorks, which makes constructing 3D geometries straight-forward. The step-by-step tutorial of EMWorks also helped me in learning the software. Many other multiphysics software applications don't have easy-to-use tutorials. Overall, EMWorks has been helpful software for my project.

I got used to EMS very fast. I just needed two days to get a first result. Especially the simplicity to apply boundary conditions or to refine the mesh at certain surfaces or solids is great! And also the options to plot the results are very nice and intuitive. In the end the results of the simulation matched very well with the experimental values.

Our magnetic bearing design requires dynamic and electromagnetic FEA verification. EMS solver is fully compatible with Solidworks and it allowed us a very short learning curve. With basic knowledge of Solidworks we have mastered EMS in less than two working days.

I used EMS to teach the third year undergraduate course "Finite Element Methods for Mechatronic Systems Engineering". Students were already familiar with and SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Electromagnetics; they had no troubles learning EMS and working on meaningful assignment problems all within one lab. The use of EMS definitely added value to the course and enhanced students' learning experience.

EMS is quite useful program for finding electric and magnetic fields in unorthodoxly shaped assemblies. It has been especially helpful for me when I was trying to design circuits with high voltage and current applications, which are potentially lethal for students. EMS comes with a set of tutorials that guide users through the model setup and demonstrate a large variety of applications. Overall, a very professional electromagnetic simulation software.

The EMS magnetostatics module has been amazing for designing permanent magnet configurations to optimize magnetic field shape. The interface with SolidWorks is really intuitive and I was able to start using it quickly. Even better, the customer service and tech support have been wonderful! I highly recommend this software.

I started using EMS because I was looking for a software that could compute accurate 3D magnetic field results, and at the same time provide all the associated variables, such as inductance, force, losses etc. Not only EMS perfectly fulfilled my simulation demands, but I also benefited from the great tech. support, which made my experience with EMS even more enjoyable.

I used EMS software for the induction heating analysis of a gear. The transient magnetic analysis helped me obtain good simulation results which corroborate what is mentioned in the literature.

The software has a user-friendly interface. Moreover, The EMS license comes with a set of pre-defined tutorials and Demo Viewer examples to guide the users and help them get familiar with the software. I had a good experience with EMS. The induction heating examples that are available in EMS Demo Viewer helped me learn more about EMS.

It is a powerful simulation tool that I would recommend to anyone who is doing projects on induction heating.





 

Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to use EMWorks to aid in my study of magnetic coils on our apparatus. With this tool, we can model many types of coil designs, such as using thin magnet wire, and water cooling it, or instead going with hollow-core type of wiring (with finite diameters and realistic spiraling modeled in SW) and running cool water through that. We can then see our magnetic field profiles all around the coils, and of course in the center of our Helmholtz configuration, where we would like to ensure very flat magnetic fields. In a complex environment such as a cold-atom experiment, I want to ensure that the vacuum chamber geometry itself would not impede our ability to ramp up and down the current on the magnetic coils, due to eddy currents. By tuning the materials, and in real-time designing components the way they would be engineered, we will be able to fine-tune our apparatus to our needs and constraints. In the future, we will continue to evaluate the eddy currents present in our system as we try different parameters for our magnetic field control (see image).

One great aspect to continue expanding on would be the video tutorials highlighting the many ways to get students started on using EMWorks for their applications. As a beginner, setting up the basic parameters like the “air geometry” was made simpler by watching someone show those steps specifically through SolidWorks.





(The image shows a cut-away view from our new vacuum chamber. We want to verify the compatibility of a new magnetic coil system with the chamber. )

EMS by EMWorks was instrumental in my high school science project. My project required me to find the force produced when a rotating Halbach array is placed above a conductive surface. By carrying out multiple simulations using EMS I determined how changes in the dimensions of the wheels affected their produced thrust and how to create an optimized wheel.  Even though I am a high school student with limited simulation experience it was easy for me to learn how to use EMS in a few days. The integration with Solidworks allowed me to rapidly change designs and test multiple configurations. The judges at the Riverside County science fair had a sufficient degree of trust in the EMS simulation results that I was awarded second prize and a certificate of achievement purely based on the simulation data. 

I used Electromagnetic Simulation (EMS) to investigate the electromagnetic behaviour of Axial Flux-Segmented Rotor-Switched Reluctance Motors (AFSSRMs). A three-dimensional finite element model is developed in SolidWorks. As the EMS is a Gold Certified add-in to SolidWorks, there is no technical boundary in between, enabling me to conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the model and complete the project on time.

In terms of the setup of the simulation in EMS, the installation instructions are easy to follow, the project tree follows a logical order, and the model parameters can be alternated easily. After each simulation, the result can be saved automatically, and different section views allow the user can analyse simulation results more comprehensively. Results from different studies can be compared, and a range of variables can be plotted. Those plots can be exported to Word documents or saved locally with high resolution.

Engineer experts from EMWorks are friendly and helpful, and they fix many simulation issues. There are plenty of learning resources available on YouTube/Webinars. The tutorial about switched reluctance machines is extremely helpful in building the simulation. The individual project is completed on time with high quality. I appreciate all the help and support from EMWorks, and I will recommend EMS to colleagues who investigate motor behaviours. 

I wanted to express my appreciation for EMS and the benefits it has provided me. Using the software has saved me a significant amount of time and money by eliminating the need for many prototypes. Without EMS, I estimate that it would have taken me at least a week and over 100€ to analyze one variable or problem. Instead, I was able to complete a Simulation overnight and review the results the next day. Additionally, EMS made it easier for me to identify problems without access to expensive measurement equipment.

I also believe that EMS has even more potential than I have been able to utilize in my simpler simulations, and I can see how it could be a valuable tool for both larger and smaller companies during product development. Furthermore, I found it easy to get started with EMS because it is similar to SolidWorks Simulation. I was able to learn the basics within a week through trial and error and a few tutorials.

I also want to highlight the exceptional support provided by you and your company. I have not received such helpful and responsive support in a long time, and I appreciate that you offer direct support for students, something that is not always offered by other companies.

I am a member of a student team that is working on understanding of axial flux electric motors and generators. Using EMWorks we were able to do electromagnetic, structural and thermal analysis of different kinds of motors and generators. Software is very intuitive and easy to use, learning time is a lot shorter than in other similar software packages. There are a lot of tutorial videos on youtube which is also really beneficial for understanding many of the funcionalities of the software. The integration inside Solidworks is flawless and output pictures of the simulation results are very informative. EMWorks support team was really helpful when we encountered some problems in defining simulation parameters. We highly recommend using EMWorks!

I am a Research Scientist for an International manufacturing corporation, world leader in the Aluminium tubes manufacturing. Using EMS we were able to do electromagnetic and thermal  analysis of novel induction heating tool prototypes, employed in the manufacturing of high frequency  welded tubes. The simulations were able to closely resemble induction heating phenomena observed  during production and allowed us to forecast benefits and limitations of alternative prototype designs  that we were planning to implement in our lines. 

The EMWorks engineers were not only very collaborative and available, but have offered great  consulting support, building the models and running all required simulation scenarios, as well as  preparing final reports, delivering a summary of the work results and the fine-tuned 3D models. I appreciate all the help and support from EMWorks, and I will recommend EMS to colleagues of my  team specialized in FEA, as this would be a precious tool to have in-house.

Our team is immensely grateful to Academic and Tech Support for their exceptional assistance with EMWorks software, which was indispensable to the success of our project. With their guidance, we were able to use EMWorks to perform an eddy brake simulation for a chainsaw dynamometer that we designed to help chainsaw operators quantify performance improvements resulting from modifications made to their saws. The software allowed us to plot a breaking torque versus rpm graph, which enabled us to map the chainsaw's performance at different rpm levels and gain a better understanding of how breaking torque strength and solid core loss changed with increasing rpm. EMWorks ensured more accurate and comprehensive results during the testing phase. It proved advantageous as it allowed for multiple design iterations (various magnet configurations) and the determination of the corresponding maximum torque values. Thanks to the assistance of EMWorks and their Support team, we were able to achieve a successful project outcome that will benefit chainsaw operators everywhere. 

EMWorks was an essential part of our engineering senior design project. We needed to simulate the electric field for a bioreactor we're developing, and EMWorks made it simple to create a model in SolidWorks and apply the needed parameters to generate an electric field simulation. We also had access to instructional videos which helped us understand and apply the functions we needed. Without EMWorks we wouldn't have been able to complete a significant portion of our project. Thank you!

I am currently doing my project in a Belgian company. The goal of my project is to use holding electromagnets to capture ferromagnetic particles in liquid and to put them in motion in this same liquid. To do this I had to choose an electromagnet with well-defined characteristics. That's why I use the simulation with the EMS software. This allows me to visualize the field lines, and to choose the most suitable electromagnet for my application.

I find that the EMS software integrates well with Solidworks and that makes its use quite simple and intuitive. It can be easily taken in hand thanks to the EMS tutorials.

MotorWizard & EMS have been very helpful in understanding and exploring various rotor and stator configurations in our design of a Brushless motor. As mechanical engineering undergrads, our understanding of electro-magnetic design was limited, but the software really helped us to work through some of the more complex concepts we were coming across in motor design references. 

In particular, MotorWizard proved to be very easy and intuitive to use and helped us in design studies such as the effect of a 3D printed plastic rotor compared to a traditional silicon steel rotor. Lots of online tutorials provided by EMWorks made EMS approachable after viewing a few of the tutorials. 

The academic and technical support representatives were responsive and helpful in getting us software licenses and setting them up with our institution as well as troubleshooting technical issues we were running into.

Based on my personal experience, I utilized a permanent magnet in my real experiment while working on the magnetic abrasive finishing process. I found the EMS software to be user-friendly, with clear categories and input materials that produced excellent simulation results. I also noticed that the design aspect of my work required further development, and I found EMS to be a suitable tool for that purpose.

EMS for Inventor helped me design and simulate a magnetic drum for my research project. With the software, I was able to carry out simulations with different arrangements and materials. Although I haven't done a magnetic strength analysis with different magnet counts yet, I plan to do so in the future with EMS. Overall, EMS for Inventor has been a valuable tool for my research.

EMS has a very low learning-curve, so it is very easy to use. I learned how to use the software by watching EMWorks’ YouTube tutorials. It is very extensive software, with a wide variety of possibilities to simulate and check the working of magnets. It is easy to generate and analyze results with EMWorks’ EMS software.

I found EMWorks software to be an efficient solution for my needs. As someone who is proficient with Autodesk Inventor, I appreciated the seamless integration of EMWorks because it eliminated the need for me to learn unfamiliar software, which saved me a great deal of time. EMWorks was easy to get the hang of, the results were first-rate, and the customer service was polite and understanding throughout the process. Overall, I am pleased with the product and would recommend it to others.

I am currently completing my final year Mechatronics Engineering research project with the assistance of EMWorks, in particular, EMS. EMWorks’ Electromagnetic Simulation software has been a tremendous help in my research. The software assisted in the design of my electromagnet which I, otherwise, would have had to design through manual manufacturing iterations. Part of my project entails designing an electromagnet by varying the current though it to try and measure the force it places on an external object viz. a steel bolt. With Autodesk Inventor and EMS from EMWorks, I was able to simulate this force while varying the current through the electromagnet as well as the number of turns, the diameter of wire used, and material used. These design iterations helped me choose the optimal electromagnet for my application and allowed me to only need to manufacture the electromagnet once. Simulating has saved me an incredible amount of time which I needed to use for many other tasks to complete this project within the three-month deadline. Thank you EMWorks. I could not have done it without you!

I used the EMWorks’ EMS program to better understand how Axial Flux Motors work, and it is one of the best software programs I have ever used. When I started learning about Axial Flux Motors, I wanted to learn and see how this machine works in real world applications. EMWorks gave me the ability to understand and see how machines works. EMWorks is designed to match the potential of your creativity. EMS software is plugin in Solidworks, and you can design your motor at Solidworks then simulate your motor in EMS with selected motor parts like coils, magnets, rotors and so on. You track the magnets' direction and understand how the magnetic field interacts with air, materials and other magnets. You also can choose the type of coils if it is solid wire or stranded wire. EMWorks comes with simulation examples for different applications to help you to understand how to use the software and is such an easy way to stimulate your design with less cost and get real data to help you to improve your design. Academic team from EMWorks was very helpful during my journey to answer all my questions. EMWorks Team, thank you for developing this software where you make it easier to simulate products for designers and inventors.

As two French students in preparatory classes for engineering schools working on an academic project about eddy current braking, we used EMS software in order to perform an electromagnetic, motion, and thermal simulation of an eddy current brake. This software perfectly met our expectations. It has great potential, and its handling is accompanied by tutorials. Thanks to EMS, we were able to carry out our project and carry out simulations, which added great value to our research work. And last but not least, we are very satisfied with the assistance the EMS Academic Team offered us during our project, and we thank them for answering our questions and supporting us with quality assistance. We are really pleased with the product and highly recommend it to others.

I am an undergraduate Mechatronics Engineering student at VIT University, Chennai, India. A few months ago, I got the opportunity to work on research on wireless charging technologies for electric vehicles (EVs). After doing a study of the existing literature in this field, my faculty guide and I decided to do a comparison study on different shapes of coils used for wireless power transfer for EV charging. As EV charging is a high-power application, charging efficiency is a very important factor in the implementation of wireless charging systems. So, to perform the simulation study, I researched different software options and their benefits. Even though I found a few other free or easily available software programs, I found EMWorks EMS to be the most suitable one for my application, especially in terms of ease of use and simple workflow. Also, another major benefit was the integration with Solidworks. Since Solidworks is our primary 3D CAD software, we could directly simulate the models, unlike some other software tools, which require the model to be exported in a particular format and then imported into the simulation software. So any changes I made to the SolidWorks model were immediately reflected in EMS.

Once I imported my models, I was able to quickly create an AC Magnetic study and configure the material properties and the coil parameters. Also, since EMS has Litz wire coils, it provides a very accurate simulation. Once the parameters were set up, the simulation parameters were configured. The parameterization option allowed me to set up multiple scenarios and simulate them all together, which saved a lot of time. I generated about 30 scenarios and simulated them as a batch process. I was able to easily plot the required output variables against these input parameters from the results table. I would like to conclude by expressing my satisfaction with this software for my research, and I look forward to working with EMWorks in the future too.

I am writing this testimonial to express my satisfaction with the EMS add-on for Inventor. As an engineer passionate about exploring the world of magnetics, I have been searching for a solution to accelerate one magnet with another magnet and precisely compute the force between them that is generated as it moves through a coil. The first aspect that struck me about EMS is its integration with Autodesk Inventor. The integration is incredibly smooth, allowing me to harness the full power of EMS without ever having to leave the Inventor environment. One of the standout features of EMS is its ability to accurately simulate and analyze magnetic fields. With this tool, I was able to simulate the interaction between magnets and calculate the forces.

The software's advanced algorithms and intuitive interface made it easy for me to set up complex simulations and obtain insightful results. I was able to visualize magnetic fields and flux densities, which was great. I could analyze the forces generated at different positions, study the variation of magnetic flux, and evaluate the impact of different parameters on the overall system performance. The software supports a wide range of magnet types, including permanent magnets and electromagnets, and has different coil configurations and materials. This flexibility allows me to explore various design possibilities and optimize systems for maximum performance.

The customer support provided by the Academic Team has also been exemplary. Their prompt and knowledgeable assistance ensured that I could quickly overcome my problems. In conclusion, EMS for Inventor is a very nice tool that has transformed the way I approach magnetism analysis. I wholeheartedly recommend EMS to anyone seeking a comprehensive and reliable solution for magnetism analysis.

I am currently a high school student completing a research paper on the Pseudo-Direct Drive. A motor that has an inherent magnetic gearbox inside. EMWorks has been brilliant for me, allowing me to simulate my project with high accuracy and quickly. Also, it was perfectly integrated into Solidworks, as this project requires a wide variety of features that work seamlessly.

We, Chicago Hyperloop, are thrilled to express our gratitude to Emworks for their exceptional software that has revolutionized our approach to hyperloop development. As an organization dedicated to innovating the future of transportation, we have found EMWorks’ software to be an indispensable tool in our pursuit of creating a safer, smarter, faster, and cleaner hyperloop system.

Our primary goal is to build and race a Hyperloop pod at the upcoming Canadian Hyperloop Conference. To achieve this, we need to design and construct a linear induction motor capable of efficient electromagnetic levitation and propulsion. We tried Ansys and Comsol, but they are challenging and difficult to navigate.

EMWorks’ software has completely transformed our engineering process. Its intuitive user interface has significantly reduced the time spent on learning and troubleshooting, allowing us to focus on engineering. The software's ability to plot data on graphs and visualize simulations has been instrumental in creating an engaging and informative presentation. With Emworks, we can easily incorporate meaningful graphs and images into our materials, effectively conveying complex concepts to judges.
