Magnetics & Consumer Electronics Design
Webinar Series - EMEA Region

Learn how Ansys Maxwell is now used in many low frequency EM applications and how it can perform accurate simulations of EM fields in electronic and consumer devices.

Learn how Ansys Maxwell can impact EM performance due to permanent magnets used for coil alignment, predict core and AC losses to obtain thermal performance and generate a frequency-dependent RL matrix. 

Learn how to use Ansys workflow for power supply analysis, analyze compact planar magnetic transformers and reduce conducted emissions in electronic power supplies.

Tablets, smartphones, watches, and virtual reality devices utilize permanent magnets. Accessories such as a stylus, wireless charging transmitters, and earbuds attach to them with a magnetic latching force. It is critical to understand the magnetic fields and forces from PMs of different sizes, shapes, and grades and to study the influence of ferromagnetic shunts, magnetization, demagnetization, and temperature dependence. Ansys Maxwell can perform PM modeling and analysis to further the study of motion kinematics of magnetic latching accessories.

This webinar will demonstrate how Ansys tools can improve PCB designs for higher performance and reliability. Ansys Maxwell simulates low-frequency (LF) EM fields to identify potential EMI/EMC issues for shielding and grounding purposes. Engineers can also predict electric currents distributed throughout the PCB power traces and study the EM forces generated by the magnetic field of the permanent magnets. Computed broadband forces are mapped to Ansys Mechanical for NVH analysis to reduce undesired mechanical vibrations.

Electronic components design and their integration on PCBs involve complex simulations to accurately predict EM fields and forces. These simulations can be computationally intensive and time-consuming. High-performance computing (HPC) capability built into Ansys Maxwell core technology significantly accelerates the electronic component design process, enabling quick iteration, optimization, and validation. Maxwell's ECAD capability allows modeling and simulation of the PCB along with its components and interdependencies. This system-level simulation enables faster identification and resolution of design challenges.
