PITTSBURGH, June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Electro
Magnetic Applications, Inc. (EMA) and Ansys (NASDAQ:
ANSS) are partnering to deliver an enhanced design-to-validation
workflow for certifying cable harness models in aircraft and
automobiles. The workflow greatly reduces electromagnetic
interference (EMI) risks to cable harnesses, slashes development
time, speeds certification and expedites new products to market
faster than ever.
Cable harnesses that transmit electrical power and signals to
electronics within aircraft and automobiles must be protected from
external EMI sources such as high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF)
and lightning strikes. To safeguard these vehicles against EMI
interference, time-intensive and costly electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) certification testing must be conducted on
physical prototypes.
EMA and Ansys' new workflow, Ansys EMA3D Cable, is a robust,
platform-level EMC cable modeling solution for overcoming EMC
design issues. When used early in the design stage, EMA3D Cable can
increase the fidelity of an engineer's product performance
predictions, reduce development costs and the need for physical
prototyping and leverage test results as a basis for final
acceptance and certification.
"EMA3D Cable enables engineers to efficiently assess complex
cable harness system designs and evaluate protection schemes for
vehicles of all sizes," said Dr. Timothy
McDonald, president of EMA. "Partnering with Ansys on this
dynamic new workflow will allow our mutual users to significantly
enhance cable harness compatibility designs and substantially
decrease cost and risk on the path to EMC certification."
"OEMs are designing new vehicles to be sleeker and lighter. This
typically requires the removal of cable harness shielding, which
creates EMI vulnerabilities," said Shane
Emswiler, Ansys' senior vice president, physics business
units. "Designing cable harnesses with EMA3D Cable will help
engineers mitigate safety-critical EMI issues — including HIRF,
lightning strikes, crosstalk and electromagnetic pulses—improving
certification support and reducing design expenses."
