Space environment and radiation effects simulation with Ansys Charge Plus and SERE.

Getting to Space Faster with EMA Simulation and Measurement

The fourth industrial revolution is here, and the space industry is leading the way, increasing the need for space environment simulation and measurement. The Brookings Institution describes the fourth industrial revolution as the combination of technologies integrating the biological, physical, and technological spheres to transform economic, political, and social systems. The institute says that better […]

Protecting Rail from Unwanted EM Effects

Steel may seem like it’s indestructible, making it perfect for railroads. However, there is an unseen threat: electromagnetic (EM) effects. This makes protecting rail an important part of the design process. EM effects pose significant risks to both rail performance and safety. Lightning, radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic interference (EMI) can produce safety hazards, […]

How EMA Supports FAA Certification

Each day more than 45,000 flights take off across the Unites States. Each and every one of those planes has achieved certification. Aircraft certification is how the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) manages risk to keep passengers safe. You achieve certification by meeting all FAA requirements. It’s not just airplanes that need certification, but also unmanned […]

The Complexities of Modeling Lightning Strikes on Aircraft

The biggest threat to an aircraft is lightning. Every second of the day there are anywhere between 40 and 100 lightning strikes happening across the world. Getting hit by a lightning strike can lead to the total loss of an aircraft if it is not properly mitigated. The effects of lightning strikes are divided into […]

Keeping AM Radio in Electric Vehicles Using Ansys EMC Plus

The race is on to find a way for electric vehicles and AM radio to live in harmony. Roughly 47 million Americans listen to AM radio, with a majority of listeners living in rural areas of the country. For these Americans, AM radio is sometimes the only reliable way to get emergency notifications. Despite this, […]
