Production-Grade, Full-Vehicle Electromagnetic Simulation Services

Modern vehicles, whether aircraft, automobiles, industrial systems, or oil and gas platforms, are more electrically complex than ever. Ensuring safe, reliable performance across all electromagnetic environments requires a level of modeling fidelity that most organizations cannot build in-house. EMA’s Services Team offers a unique, production-ready solution: creation of a full-fidelity digital twin of your vehicle, including its complete mechanical geometry, material stack-ups, and full Electrical Wiring Interconnect System (EWIS). Using your Mechanical CAD, material properties, and wiring data, EMA engineers develop a simulation-ready model with rigorous configuration control across every element.

This digital twin is built by the EMA Services Team using EMC Plus, the commercial simulation product we develop and rely on for high-fidelity analysis. Only EMA and EMC Plus together can create and solve system-level models with thousands of cables and all related structures, enabling accurate predictions of emissions, immunity or susceptibility, E3 (electromagnetic environmental effects), and RF interactions. This is not a one-off R&D effort. It is a true production capability designed to keep pace with real design cycles, providing a model that is ready when you need it and robust enough to support repeated use across evolving product designs. With EMA, engineering organizations gain the ability to predict real product performance with a complete, simulation-ready vehicle model that captures all the electromagnetic and structural complexity required for modern programs.

This webinar will show how EMA’s modeling services deliver unmatched fidelity, scalability, and repeatability for complex vehicles, and why this is the only viable path to a complete, high-accuracy electromagnetic digital twin.
