Case Study: Virginia Tech Transportation Institute improves electromagnetic damping design with EMWorks EMS

Virginia Tech Transportation Institute - Customer Case Study

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute's mechanical engineering senior design team faced the challenge of designing an active electromagnetic damping system for vibration testing. They needed to simulate magnetic force and visualize magnetic fields to optimize their electromagnet design and determine system strength.

Using EMWorks's EMS software, the team was able to create and easily update numerous SOLIDWORKS model iterations to visualize configurations and test them. EMWorks's solution enabled the team to successfully finalize their design, develop a dynamic damping system, and demonstrate a real-life, scaled prototype, which led them to highly recommend the software.
