Join us for a webinar on Ansys Power Electronics.

Power electronics drive critical applications and must meet strict standards for compatibility and reliability. Anticipating the many factors that can influence real-world performance requires a proven simulation solution that can help identify EMI issues before they arise while optimizing the whole system including thermal management.

Ansys offers system-level design, analysis and optimization solutions for power electronic systems inclusive of inverters, converters, electric machines, sensors, semiconductors (IGBTs), circuit boards and cables. Our simulation tools help solve issues like semiconductor loss and thermal performance during cycling, surge currents and voltages during switching, and conducted and radiated emissions (EMI/EMC) due to increasingly higher switching frequencies.

Simulation can provide a significant impact on power electronics design and production.

Webinar overview:

  • Ansys solutions for Power Electronics Design
  • Power Electronics design and development overview
  • ROMS for Power Magnetics, Electric Machines and Parasitic Extraction

Ansys MBSE Webinar

28 May 2024 | 12:00-13:00 | Virtual

Join us for a webinar on Ansys Model-Based Systems Engineering Methodology.

By attending this webinar, engineers will gain insight into leveraging MBSE methodologies to efficiently manage complexity, mitigate risks, and ultimately deliver high-quality, innovative products and systems.

Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is a methodology that focuses on creating and exploiting digital system and engineering domain models as the primary means of exchange of information, feedback, and requirements, as opposed to document-centric systems engineering. It involves the entire process of capturing, communicating, and making sure that all the digital models we use to represent a system are coordinated and maintained throughout the entire lifecycle of the system.

What you will learn:

  • Learn How capabilities that traditionally resided in different software tools may now be connected.
  • Understand how pervasive digital engineering connects requirements and workflows so that every stakeholder has system insights .
