Talk to Your Simulation: Agent-Driven PCB EMC and Magnetron Plasma Workflows with EMA3D Connect Plus

Setting up a simulation takes more engineering time than solving it. A PCB has to be imported, nets selected, meshed, and instrumented with sources and probes. A multiphysics study has to pass fields from one solver to the next without a lost unit or a flipped sign. Each step usually means a different GUI, a folder of files, and results assembled by hand.

EMA3D® Connect Plus exposes every public capability as a callable tool through an MCP server. Engineers bring the agent client and model their organization already approves, then describe the problem in plain language. The agent draws on EMA's engineering methods, which ship as skills, to set the study up the way EMA's own engineers would. It interviews the engineer before it acts and asks for confirmation before it commits an edit. No one clicks a button.

Join us for this webinar, where two EMA engineers show agent-driven setup on two very different problems.

  • Radiated emissions and susceptibility on a PCB. Watch an agent import a board, mesh it, raise the mesh resolution on request, and hand it to Ansys Discovery for EMC Plus. Then ask which traces are most likely to pick up crosstalk from a USB data pair. The agent reads the board, ranks the candidates by clearance and parallel run length, and places the sources and probes.
  • Ansys Maxwell to Ansys Charge Plus. See an agent build a magnetron magnet assembly in Maxwell through pyAEDT and run the magnetostatic solve. It then exports the B-field on a grid and uses it as the source for a plasma analysis in Charge Plus.
  • Learn how EMA methods are packaged as agent skills, including the failure signatures that come from real sessions, such as a coercivity sign that silently reverses a magnet or a field export in meters when the model is in millimeters.
  • Understand how the same problem definition can run on the full solver or on EMA's Physics AI surrogate, which returns shielding effectiveness up to 628x faster than the GPU solver.
  • Explore what you need to bring to try this yourself: your own agent client, your own approved model, and no customer data leaving your environment.

At the end of the webinar, attendees will have a clear picture of how agentic setup shortens the path from a design question to a trustworthy EMC or plasma result, and of how to start using it on their own problems.

Join us Nov. 18 at 1 p.m. ET.
