Foundations and Integrations of Ansys EMA3D Tools Part 3: The Particle-in-Cell Solver of Ansys EMA3D Charge

In this webinar, the 3rd in a 5-part series, we'll consider using the EMA3D Charge electromagnetic simulation tool for modeling and simulating charged particle plasmas in aerospace and semiconductor applications.

The unique capabilities of the EMA3D charge will be brought to bear on spacecraft design and semiconductor manufacturing, along with other Ansys tools to optimize charge accumulation for complete systems collaboratively.

About this Webinar

In this webinar, the 3rd in a 4-part series, will examine EMA3D Charge and its solver technology. The discussion will also bring to light the many integrations completed or underway at both the physics and interface levels with other Ansys tools. The lecture will then transition to exploring the many industries and products which can benefit from using EMA3D Charge solver technology and tool integrations. Finally, we'll present specific examples in the Aerospace and Semiconductor sectors.

What You Will Learn

  • Numerical methods employed by the EMA3D Charge solver, including PIC and FEM
  • Mathematics behind the EMA3D Charge solver in its modeling and simulation of charged plasmas from a 3D fluid dynamics perspective
  • How the Particle in Cell (PIC) solver is applied to spacecraft phenomena such as surface charging, charged plasma wakes & sheaths, and interactions with ambient EM fields
  • Modeling and simulation of plasmas in Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PE-CVD) for semiconductor manufacturing
  • Examples of where integrations with other tools become beneficial
