ANSYS EMA3D Cable 2020 R2

Electro Magnetic Applications, Inc. (EMA) and Ansys 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.

Designing cable harnesses for automotive and aerospace equipment is a daunting engineering challenge. This is primarily due to the difficulty in assessing the impact of electromagnetic (EM) effects induced by factors such as interference, crosstalk, insufficient shielding and lightning strikes. It is critical to mitigate these EM problems to meet stringent demands for electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC) certification of cable harnesses.

Widely used in automobiles, airplanes, ships and spacecraft, cable harnesses are crucial for transmitting electrical power and control signals to the electronics within these vehicles. Due to the size of these vehicles, cables are usually designed, installed and routed to extend over long distances to connect the electronic equipment. They must be protected from external EM sources such as high-intensity, radiated fields (HIRF) or a lightning strike.


Ansys EMA3D Cable, developed exclusively to design and accurately simulate EM effects in cable harness models, can overcome these problems. EMC tests of cable harnesses for large platforms are extremely expensive. With this new simulation tool, engineers can virtually predict the performance of their cable harness under these EMC certification tests economically and early in the design cycle.

EMA3D Cable is the product from a partnership between ANSYS, Inc. and Electro Magnetic Applications, Inc. (EMA), a leading 3D simulation, consulting and measurement company. It is a robust platform-level EMI/EMC cable design and simulation solution. It helps engineers identify EMI/EMC problems in automotive and aerospace devices along with RF systems. EMA3D Cable’s accuracy enables cable simulations to be used as the basis for final acceptance or certification.

It uses Ansys SpaceClaim’s Direct Modeler UI, known for its ease-of-use, to create and import geometries of arbitrary shapes and sizes. EMA3D Cable enables the user to quickly define the contents of the cable and simulate the model with just a few mouse clicks. This solution bolsters Ansys’ design-to-validation workflow to include cable certification support as well as system level EMI analysis for cable harness models.
