Accelerate Biomedical Compliance with EMI/EMC/ESD Simulation
For manufacturers of biomedical electronics, achieving EMI, EMC, and ESD compliance is rarely a straight path—it is an expensive, slow cycle of lab testing, failure analysis, redesign, and re‑test. As devices become more compact and the healthcare environment increasingly complex and electromagnetically contentious, traditional trial‑and‑error approaches to certification fall short in meeting development timelines and budgets.
This presentation examines why biomedical products are particularly vulnerable to failure, patient‑connected safety requirements, and evolving regulatory standards. We will explore how physics‑based electromagnetic simulation can fundamentally change and accelerate your workflow.

Speaker: John Twerdok
EMA VP of Business Development
Our presenter is John Twerdok, VP of Software Business Development at Electromagnetic Applications (EMA). In this role, John works closely with the Ansys Channel team in helping customers deploy simulation for solving complex electromagnetic problems. John previously was the Director of Acquisitions & GTM Partnerships at Ansys. His experience in engineering software also includes leading the North and South American sales & services team at Granta Design Ltd. – a Cambridge UK software company. He was Sr. Business Line Executive of Digital Simulation Products at Autodesk and held management positions at both Moldflow Corporation, and Swanson Analysis Systems, where he was responsible for developing enterprise accounts, managing worldwide channel partners, and developing complementary software partner programs. John holds a B.S and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Union College in Schenectady, NY. He is a founding member of the Technology Network Alliance which is a global consortium of computer-aided engineering experts.
Topic: Simulation and Modeling Approaches Useful for Automotive EMC Analysis Presenter: Karen Burnham, EMA Principal Scientist I Abstract: Failing automotive EMC requirements in the test lab leads to many extra costs and schedule delays. With the push for more electric vehicles (EVs), the electromagnetic environment in a car is getting harsher. With the advent of […]
Topic: Guide to Using Simulations for HIRF Certification Activities Presenter: Cody Weber, EMA Principal Scientist Abstract: Cody Weber reviewed the HIRF guidance documents AC20-158 and ARP5583 to understand which activities are typically performed for HIRF compliance demonstration. The webinar also covered how computational electromagnetic (CEM) simulations with EMA3D® can support HIRF design and compliance activities […]
Topic: How to Achieve Automotive EMC Certification Success at the First Pass Presenters: Karen Burnham, EMA Principal Scientist I Flavio Calvano, Ansys Lead Application Engineer Abstract: Automotive systems are becoming more complex with each new technical development that is added to them. This increases the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) challenges for the automotive platform. Passing EMC requirements is […]
Topic: Platform-Level Integration of Antennas, RF Systems, and Cables Presenters: Matt Miller, EMA Principal RF Engineer II Fred German, Ansys Director of R&D Abstract: Virtually every modern platform includes RF systems for a variety of functions including navigation, communication, surveillance and sensing. These RF systems are connected to antennas via cables routed through the vehicle […]
Topic: EMA3D 2021 R1 What’s New Webinar Presenter: Tim McDonald, EMA President Abstract: In this webinar, Tim McDonald, PhD, will be going into more detail for the most anticipated updates: HFSS Field Link: ability to use HFSS near fields as source, import of harness description list (KBL) files, and exporting S-parameter models; As well as […]
Topic: Guide to Civil Aircraft Electromagnetic Compatibility Presenters: Tim McDonald, EMA President Bill Martin, EMC Expert Abstract: We review the guidance in SAE ARP60493 for demonstrating that electrical and electronic systems installed on civil aircraft can operate without adversely affecting the operation of other aircraft electrical and electronic systems. This includes guidance for defining appropriate […]
Topic: Installed Antenna Performance and RFI Presenter: Matt Miller, EMA Principal Scientist II Chris Maholm, Dayton Granger Director of Business Development Abstract: Radio Frequency (RF) systems represent one of the most critical technology areas today. Without RF systems, all types of vehicles cannot navigate, communication cannot occur, advanced weapons cannot hit their targets, and the […]
Topic: Analysis to Predict Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Compliance of Units and Devices for Suppliers Presenter: Tim McDonald Abstract: Tier-1 suppliers of electronics units for aircraft, automobiles, or other platforms must meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. Platform integrators establish EMC requirements in order to ensure overall system compatibility. Almost always, the method of compliance to the […]
Topic: Using Simulation to Reduce Damage and Maximize Availability in Wind Turbine Applications Presenter: Justin McKennon Abstract: Lightning effects on wind turbine blades present significant challenges to manufacturers and operators. The industry is skewing heavily towards larger wind turbine blades and more remote locations, and these pose substantial logistical challenges in terms of accessibility, cost […]
Topic: HIRF and Lightning Certification for VTOL Airtaxi Speaker: Giancarlo Guida Abstract: With Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) air taxis, the engineering community is once again called to support an emerging technology that could have an amazing impact on the way people and goods are transported allowing for safer and more environmentally friendly urban mobility.
