I'm a mechanical designer in a company that builds magnetic inspection tools for the oil and gas pipeline industry. These tools use a magnetic flux leakage (MFL) principle to find cracks, corrosion pits and other defects in the pipe wall.

I used EMS in many magnetostatic studies to design the magnetic circuit of one of the tool components, and I was very happy to see how accurate the results were, after laboratory tests confirmation. Because EMS is easy to use and allows me to view the study results by cutting sections anywhere in the 3D model, I can optimize the magnetic design of our tools to a level impossible to achieve without a powerful software like this one.

Now I'm planning to extend the magnetostatic studies to all the tool components, using EMS with much bigger and more complex models.
