In the session, Dan Ilea from Dassault Systèmes walks through three real engineering examples and shows how AI‑powered workflows change electromagnetics simulation.
Unified Modeling and Simulation
See how ModSim connects CAD, simulation, requirements, and AI into one concurrent engineering workflow. Instead of slow, sequential processes, teams work on shared data in real time—reducing optimization loops from weeks to hours.
“We go from a sequential process to a concurrent engineering process where all departments work at the same time on the same data.”
Three Key Low-Frequency Applications from the Webinar
1. Capacitive Sensor Design for Smart Devices
Learn how to model and optimize capacitive touch sensors used in smartwatches and other consumer electronics.
- How low‑frequency solvers capture electric‑field behavior beneath multilayer screens
- How finger position affects coupling between electrodes
- How CST Studio Suite links finite‑element results with circuit simulation
- How parameter sweeps and AI‑based optimization reduce detection time and improve responsiveness
“By playing with the values of the capacitors and resistors we can improve the detection time.”
2. Electromechanical Simulation of a Linear Actuator
See a full co‑simulation of electromagnetic, mechanical, and thermal physics—critical for actuators, motors, and positioning systems.
- How nonlinear materials and saturation affect actuator performance
- Why hysteresis can prevent a plunger from returning to its closed position
- How losses (copper, iron, hysteresis, eddy currents) feed into thermal analysis
- How bidirectional coupling ensures realistic behavior
“In the case where we have hysteresis… the plunger actually doesn’t come back anymore.”
3. Wireless Charging with Litz Wire Modeling
Explore high‑power wireless charging systems—such as EV charging pads—and how to accurately predict losses in litz‑wire coils.
- Why skin and proximity effects dominate at higher currents
- How CST’s semi‑analytical litz‑wire model avoids meshing hundreds of strands
- How frequency‑dependent conductivity and permeability impact losses
- How the new coil type (introduced in 2024) speeds up simulation dramatically
“This type of coil allows us to model a litz wire, and gives a very precise solution for losses.”
AI & Machine Learning in Industrial Simulation
The webinar closes with a forward‑looking overview of Industrial AI inside the 3DEXPERIENCE platform:
- Virtual assistants (like Aura) trained specifically on SIMULIA tools
- Surrogate models that predict simulation results in seconds
- Democratized design exploration for non‑experts
- Upcoming capabilities for training ML models on historical simulation data
“We want to make AI a reliable, sovereign, and powerful tool… an enabler for your day‑to‑day work.”
