EMS 2017 is the tenth release of EMS as a Gold Certified add-in to SolidWorks.
This is a major new release of the software that incorporates several new features at the meshing and pre-processing, solving and post-processing levels.
Below are some of the new capabilities that have been added in this release to provide users with more comprehensive simulation options and a more complete set of results.
Solvers
-
High order elements support for Magnetostatic and AC Magnetic analysis ( High Accuracy study option)
-
New AC electric analysis type.
-
New Thermal Stress Structural coupling.
-
Enhancements to motion coupling simulation:
•Allow using Force/Torque and Motor in the same Solidworks Motion Analysis study coupled to EMS
•Initial velocity motion coupled simulation
•Gravity and Spring driven motion coupled simulation -
Enhancements to transient thermal coupling simulation.
•Improved Steady-state thermal (previous versions)
•Transient thermal (time dependant - NEW) -
Enhancements to Parametric Analysis.
