I am currently completing my final year Mechatronics Engineering research project with the assistance of EMWorks, in particular, EMS. EMWorks’ Electromagnetic Simulation software has been a tremendous help in my research. The software assisted in the design of my electromagnet which I, otherwise, would have had to design through manual manufacturing iterations. Part of my project entails designing an electromagnet by varying the current though it to try and measure the force it places on an external object viz. a steel bolt. With Autodesk Inventor and EMS from EMWorks, I was able to simulate this force while varying the current through the electromagnet as well as the number of turns, the diameter of wire used, and material used. These design iterations helped me choose the optimal electromagnet for my application and allowed me to only need to manufacture the electromagnet once. Simulating has saved me an incredible amount of time which I needed to use for many other tasks to complete this project within the three-month deadline. Thank you EMWorks. I could not have done it without you!

I found EMWorks software to be an efficient solution for my needs. As someone who is proficient with Autodesk Inventor, I appreciated the seamless integration of EMWorks because it eliminated the need for me to learn unfamiliar software, which saved me a great deal of time. EMWorks was easy to get the hang of, the results were first-rate, and the customer service was polite and understanding throughout the process. Overall, I am pleased with the product and would recommend it to others.

EMS has a very low learning-curve, so it is very easy to use. I learned how to use the software by watching EMWorks’ YouTube tutorials. It is very extensive software, with a wide variety of possibilities to simulate and check the working of magnets. It is easy to generate and analyze results with EMWorks’ EMS software.

EMS for Inventor helped me design and simulate a magnetic drum for my research project. With the software, I was able to carry out simulations with different arrangements and materials. Although I haven't done a magnetic strength analysis with different magnet counts yet, I plan to do so in the future with EMS. Overall, EMS for Inventor has been a valuable tool for my research.

 

Based on my personal experience, I utilized a permanent magnet in my real experiment while working on the magnetic abrasive finishing process. I found the EMS software to be user-friendly, with clear categories and input materials that produced excellent simulation results. I also noticed that the design aspect of my work required further development, and I found EMS to be a suitable tool for that purpose.
