During the "Elektronikprojekt" project course for electrical engineers at Lund University, our project centered around the development of a prototype for an axial flux BLDC motor. The goal of the project was to explore the feasibility of creating a new hub motor for the Formula Student team at our institution. In our pursuit of understanding the intricate magnetic fields emanating from the rotor and stator, we turned to the EMWorks software integrated within SOLIDWORKS. EMS proved to be an exceptionally user-friendly software solution, setting itself apart from more traditional options. The efficiency it offered was a pivotal asset, as it allowed us to seamlessly iterate on design revisions within SOLIDWORKS and subsequently perform simulations within the same environment. This streamlined approach significantly enhanced our workflow and enabled us to make meaningful progress efficiently. Though regrettably, time constraints prevented us from fully exploring the software's complete potential, we are nonetheless content with the results we achieved. The insights gained from utilizing EMWorks were invaluable to our project's success, and we accrued a wealth of knowledge throughout the process. EMWorks played a pivotal role in facilitating our research and development efforts, and we extend our gratitude to the team for providing us with a tool that greatly contributed to our project's accomplishments. We look forward to the opportunity to explore its capabilities further in future endeavors.
The team spent the first semester of the project designing and conducting component-level testing. EMS was used the most in the first semester to support electromagnet configurations and visualizations for our faculty and advisors. We successfully displayed the representative SOLIDWORKS EMS model in real life through testing at a reduced scale with low power input. In the Spring semester, we finalized our design with an updated EMS model and developed a dynamic electromagnetic active damping system that responds to displacement data and increases/decreases force with current supply. The team greatly benefited from using the EMS software and would highly recommend its use to anyone working with electromagnets.
Team 3, a mechanical engineering senior design team at Virginia Tech, used EMWorks’s software, EMS, to simulate magnetic force and visualize the magnetic field in an active electromagnetic damping system for vibration testing. EMS helped us design our Lorentz force electromagnet to determine the strength of the system. We augmented our power input and placed our permanent magnets to optimize force output. EMS was easy to update through our many iterations of SOLIDWORKS models. We produced nearly a dozen different CAD configurations and tested several of them, leveraging theoretical EMS models and practical setups with 3D printed parts.
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.
The direct CAD integration enables us to perform simulations directly within Inventor, Emworks has eliminated the need for file transfers and conversions. This allows us to create a more seamless workflow for our team. EMWorks’ software has truly become an extension of our design environment.
We cannot overstate the value that Emworks has brought to our organization. With their top-of-the-line software, we can quickly simulate, optimize and design various components of our pod, propelling us closer to victory. Emworks has become an indispensable ally in our journey toward innovation and progress. We wholeheartedly recommend EMWorks’ software for any team engaged in any kind of electromagnetic design.
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.
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.
