Visual look at the phases of a total solar eclipse.

Preparing for a Total Solar Eclipse

For the first time in seven years, North America is preparing for a total solar eclipse The total solar eclipse will cover portions of Mexico, the U.S., and Canada on April 8, 2024. A solar eclipse is when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, as seen in Figure 1. This blocks the face […]

Figure 2. EMC Plus's 3D field solution and cable solver are both solved on the same grid, in the same binary, with shared field, current, and impedance matrix information.

Electromagnetic Modeling of Full Vehicles and Their Cables, Unique Ansys EMC Plus Capabilities

Manufacturers of automobiles and aircraft require full digital representations of their vehicles that allow for accurate electromagnetic simulation. In the automotive industry, there is a desire to simulate and predict the full vehicle electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance of a vehicle using digital designs, which can be performed months or years before vehicles are available for […]

Getting to Space Faster with EMA Simulation and Measurement

The fourth industrial revolution is here, and the space industry is leading the way. The Brookings Institution describes the fourth industrial revolution as the combination of technologies integrating the biological, physical, and technological spheres to transform economic, political, and social systems. The institute says that better technology and decreasing costs have made outer space more […]

Protecting Rail from Unwanted EM Effects

Steel may seem like it’s indestructible, making it perfect for railroads. However, there is an unseen threat: electromagnetic (EM) effects. This makes protecting rail an important part of the design process. EM effects pose significant risks to both rail performance and safety. Lightning, radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic interference (EMI) can produce safety hazards, […]

How EMA Supports FAA Certification

Each day more than 45,000 flights take off across the Unites States. Each and every one of those planes has achieved certification. Aircraft certification is how the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) manages risk to keep passengers safe. Certification confirms that all FAA requirements have been met. It’s not just airplanes that need certification, but also […]
