Learn how to simulate an eddy current brake in EMS for SOLIDWORKS.

Braking processes through eddy currents are important applications in the field of electromagnetics. They encompass various areas, including machine design, transportation, entertainment, and defense. With the rapid adoption of electrification, several technology domains are embracing eddy current braking techniques.

We will explore practical applications of eddy current braking with EMS. EMS is a finite element-based multiphysics simulation software used to solve electromagnetic DC and low-frequency problems. In the webinar, the transient magnetic module of EMS, along with SOLIDWORKS Motion, will be used to demonstrate an eddy current braking process.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • Setting up a study in EMS to solve an eddy current braking problem
  • Coupling with SOLIDWORKS Motion to perform an electromagnetic simulation while considering motion
  • Creating dynamic charts for kinematics as well as force/torque results using EMS
  • Using field plots to understand the behavior of the braking system."
