Electromagnetic Simulation and Design Services
Electromagnetic simulation and design support for motors, transformers, busbars, inductors, sensors, actuators, wireless power systems and RF components.
EMWorks Design and 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.
Typical Work
Most service projects fall into a few practical categories
Concept and pre-prototype studies
Estimate fields, torque, efficiency, losses or temperatures for new designs
before building hardware.
Design comparison
Evaluate alternative geometries, materials, slot/pole combinations or winding
schemes using a common simulation setup.
Performance verification
Check that a design meets internal or customer limits on temperature, stress,
clearance, EMI/EMC or safety margins.
Issue investigation
Analyze overheating, noise, vibration, unexpected forces or interference seen in
tests or in the field to identify electromagnetic causes.
Design updates
Assess the impact of required changes, such as different materials,
manufacturing constraints or packaging changes.
Model setup and handover
Build a first validated EMWorks model of your device so your team can continue
exploring operating points and variants in-house.
Inputs We Typically Need
To scope a project, we usually need a few basic items.
Any existing CAD or simplified geometry
Target performance metrics or a clear statement of the problem
Any available measurements or test data
If some of these are missing, we can still start from an approximate description and refine the details as the work progresses.
Industries and 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.
Tools and 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
Engagement and 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.
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 (for example, what torque, loss, temperature, field level or safety margin to expect)
- You have, or can provide, basic geometry and operating conditions
- The 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
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.
