From CAD-Embedded to Standalone Simulation: EMWorks’ Next Chapter


EMWorks Inc., a pioneer in CAD-embedded electromagnetic simulation, is making a significant transition from CAD-embedded solutions to a Standalone platform. This shift enhances flexibility and power for electromagnetic and Multiphysics design, providing users with greater control. Our standalone product seamlessly integrates advanced simulation capabilities with built-in Autodesk Inventor. It is designed to prioritize simulation while offering robust, native CAD functionality, allowing users to work independently and import any CAD format. This move is set to streamline workflows across industries like automotive, aerospace, and telecommunications, offering broader access to advanced simulation tools.




What This Means for You

The transition to a standalone platform offers you greater flexibility, power, and control in your design process. With advanced simulation capabilities integrated into the built-in Autodesk Inventor, there’s no need to invest in expensive external CAD software or manage multiple vendors. Unlike many competing solutions that only offer CAD readers—requiring you to re-import models every time changes are needed—our product provides full native CAD functionality, allowing you to make design adjustments directly within the platform. This simplifies your workflow and ensures seamless design and simulation integration. Whether you're in automotive, aerospace, or telecommunications, this move provides broader access to powerful electromagnetic and Multiphysics tools, driving faster innovation at a lower cost.
