Full Vehicle Simulations for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) of Structures and Cables

Having the ability to model and simulate a full vehicle in a given electromagnetic environment is critical throughout the design cycle of the platform. Ansys EMC Plus is a platform level simulation and modeling tool that specializes in modeling the coupling of the electromagnetic environment to structures and cables. Ansys EMC Plus allows users to model at high fidelity the important electromagnetic properties and parameters associated with their platform.  

Simulating full vehicle models is vital to the aerospace, heavy and automotive industries. Introducing this type of modeling early in the design process can help reduce testing costs at the end of a platforms design cycle. Validating simulation results is also critical and EMA has been involved with several publications that validate Ansys EMC Plus against test results. 

This course will focus on how to construct a full vehicle model for E3 and EMC/EMI simulations starting from the mechanical CAD. Course attendees will learn how to specify materials properties, define the electromagnetic environment, construct complex cable harnesses, define important seam and joints, how to assign probes and process data, and learn advanced modeling techniques that help expedite the modeling process.

Speaker: Kellan Kremer
EMA Senior Scientist and Associate Product Manager
Kellan Kremer is a Senior Scientist and Product Manager at Electro Magnetic Applications, Inc. (EMA®) where he specializes in modeling electromagnetic environmental effects. These environments include lightning, HIRF, HEMP, space plasmas, lunar plasmas, and radiated and conducted environments found in MIL-STD-461/DO-160. Kellan has also led the integration effort between Ansys Charge Plus and STK. This integration allows users to calculate particle fluxes in STK and import them into Ansys Charge Plus for an internal charging analysis. Kellan has been a consultant on many civilian and military aerospace projects. He has developed large platform models for full-wave computational electromagnetic simulation, been involved in low level swept field HIRF measurements, and conducted validation efforts that illustrate how models developed in Ansys EMC Plus can compare well to lab measured data.
