Determining ESD Risk in Cell Phones with Ansys Charge Plus

The shock from static electricity to the human body can be jarring, but it is nothing more than a nuisance. However, that same shock can cause bigger problems for many electronic devices. That shock is also known as an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event. ESD has been a problem in industry for centuries. In the 1400s, […]

Using Ansys EMC Plus for Faster Assessment of Aircraft Lightning Vulnerability

For a week each summer, attention turns to the sky. The National Weather Service hosts Lightning Safety Awareness Week to call attention to lightning being an underrated killer. Since 2001, lightning deaths in the U.S. have dropped from about 55 per year to less than 30. On average, lightning strikes the Earth 8.6 million times […]

Using Metamodels of Optimal Prognosis for EMC Analysis in an Automobile

Modern cars—they’re sleeker and faster than ever before, but they’re also more electrified. It’s estimated that the modern vehicle contains up to 1,500 wires, stretching out to about a mile in length. Compare that to the 1950’s when cars had just 55 wires totaling about 50 feet in length. A new challenge now facing car […]

How Embraer Uses Simulation to Put Planes in the Air Faster

“Hey, let’s go zap an airplane with an artificial bolt of lightning and see what happens.” While that sounds like one of those statements no one ever said, the opposite, in fact, is true. Airplane manufacturers have for years been subjecting prototypes of their planes to the electrical transient equivalent of a bolt of lightning […]

Electromagnetic Simulation Makes Connections with the US DoD’s JADC2 Implementation

Everyone who uses a cell phone may not realize that the electromagnetic spectrum that allows for connection to the network is regulated by governments around the world. In the United States, much of the bandwidth for modern networks has been released from exclusive use by the Department of Defense (DoD). Those discrete bands of frequencies […]

Renaming EMA3D® to Ansys EMC Plus and Ansys Charge Plus

EMA is on the frontline of simulation innovation, and now the name of its products reflects what is possible. EMA and technology partner Ansys are renaming EMA3D® Cable and EMA3D® Charge to better represent the powerful simulations our software solutions are capable of. This includes where and how they can be used. EMA3D® Cable has […]

Ansys Charge Plus and its Particle-In-Cell Solver

Electrification is driving the development in several industries, including consumer electronics, automotive, and aerospace. No matter the size, the primary challenges for engineers, product developers, and designers remain the same: to ensure product success, safety, and connectivity. To meet these goals, development teams must consider the hazards to electronic components including electromagnetic interference (EMI), static […]

Introducing Expo 2024 Keynote Speaker Dr. Prith Banerjee

Innovation: a new idea, method, or device; the introduction of something new. Innovation is also what Ansys Chief Technology Officer Dr. Prith Banerjee has based his career on. “This is my passion,” he says. “I want everybody to embrace the passion of innovation like I do.” That is the excitement he will be bringing to […]

Ansys EMC Plus helps EV Project Mitigate EMC Risk

A Colorado company is saving time and money by using Ansys EMC Plus (formerly EMA3D® Cable) for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) analysis early in the design process. Lightning eMotors was founded in 2008 and is based in Loveland, Colorado. The company provides specialized and sustainable driving options, including complete zero-emission all-electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. This […]
