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.
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.
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.
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.
