Abstract
The integration of automated workflows for coupled electromagnetic and structural simulations marks a transformative step forward in engineering analysis. This approach enables the seamless exchange of data between electromagnetic simulations and structural analyses, allowing engineers to evaluate how electromagnetic forces influence material deformation and structural integrity with greater precision and efficiency. By bridging these domains, this innovation addresses critical challenges across industries such as aerospace and defence, energy, industrial equipment, and automotive, where understanding the interaction between high-power electromagnetic systems and structural components is vital for ensuring performance, safety, and compliance. In sectors like electric vehicles, this capability supports optimization of system efficiency while meeting rigorous safety and regulatory standards. For consumer electronics and medical devices, it enhances the reliability of designs involving electromagnetic fields. Historically, coupling these two simulation domains has been a labor-intensive process requiring extensive manual effort. Initial implementations relied on the exchange of large volumes of data through text files and scripts, resulting in time delays, inefficiencies, and memory-related challenges. For example, simulating the mechanical impact of high-current electromagnetic force - such as Lorentz forces - on structures involved complex, error-prone steps to translate electromagnetic force data into input for structural solvers. These limitations hindered the ability to conduct high-fidelity simulations, often necessitating physical prototyping to address the gaps. The automated workflow eliminates these bottlenecks by streamlining the process of data transfer and interpretation, enabling more robust and accurate multiphysics simulations. By automating these steps, the workflow reduces resource consumption and minimizes errors, paving the way for faster and more reliable insights into the interplay between electromagnetic and structural phenomena. This advancement not only improves product development efficiency but also promotes innovation by providing a deeper understanding of complex physical interactions. The result is a powerful tool that helps engineers deliver safer, more efficient, and innovative solutions across diverse industries.
