Ansys EMC Plus: One-Click Workflow for Simulating Shielding Effectiveness
Hello everyone, this is Adel from Ozen Engineering, Inc. In this video, we will explore one of the automated workflows of Ansys EMC Plus, which, with just one click, allows you to run shielding effectiveness simulations. This example is available in the software.
Initial Setup
- Ensure that the materials are defined and your geometry is ready.
- Go to the EMA3D tab and click on the arrow below the Shielding Effectiveness button to access the settings.
Workflow Initiation
Here, we will initiate the workflow with 35 divisions, which defines the mesh size. With "Run on Complete" selected, clicking the "Complete" button will automatically run the shielding effect in a simulation.
Automated Simulation Steps
- Creating the simulation domain and meshing the enclosure geometry.
- Setting up an external plane wave source.
- Generating a box probe inside the enclosure.
- Initiating the simulation run.
Post-Simulation Analysis
- After the simulation is complete, navigate to Results and right-click on Field Probe 1.
- Select Compute Field Statistics to compute the electric field average, minimum, and maximum values, along with the shielding effectiveness.
- Select the default Plane Wave source file and choose the desired analysis directions. Here, I'll keep all of them.
Viewing Results
Go to 2D Plots, and here you can see our results:
- Field statistics
- Shielding effectiveness
Right-click on Shielding Effectiveness and click Show. Here's our shielding effectiveness in dB. As you can see, the shielding effectiveness decreases as the frequency increases.
Plot Configuration
We can control the plot settings. If I go to Configure, Chart, we can change the scale from dB to linear. Here, we can view our results on a linear scale.
In this video, we saw the one-click workflow for simulating shielding effectiveness. Thanks for watching, and see you in the next video.
Hello everyone, this is Adel from Ozen Engineering. In this video, we will explore one of the automated workflows of Ansys EMC Plus, which, with just one click, allows you to run shielding effectiveness simulations. This example is available in the software.
Here, the first step is to ensure that the materials are defined and your geometry is ready. Once this is done, go to the EMA3D tab and click on the arrow below the Shielding Effectiveness button to access the settings.
Here, we will initiate the workflow with 35 divisions, and this defines the mesh size. With "Run on Complete" selected, clicking the "Complete" button will automatically run the shielding effect in a simulation.
So, here Ansys EMC Plus automates several key steps in the simulation process, including creating the simulation domain and meshing the enclosure geometry. It also sets up an external plane wave source, generates a box probe inside the enclosure, and initiates the simulation run.
After the simulation is complete, navigate to Results and right-click on Field Probe 1. Here, we will select Compute Field Statistics. This will compute the electric field average, minimum, and maximum values, along with the shielding effectiveness.
Next, we will select the default Plane Wave source file. And we choose the desired analysis directions. Here, I'll keep all of them. Now, let's go to 2D Plots, and here you can see our results; we have the field statistics and the shielding effectiveness.
Let's right-click on Shielding Effectiveness and click Show. Here's our shielding effectiveness in dB. As you can see, the shielding effectiveness decreases as the frequency increases. We can control the plot settings, so if I go to Configure, Chart, we can change the scale from dB to linear.
And here, we can view our results on a linear scale. In this video, we saw the one-click workflow for simulating shielding effectiveness. Thanks for watching, and see you in the next video.
