ElectromagneticWorks

What ElectromagneticWorks does

ElectromagneticWorks (legal name EMWorks Inc., DBA EMWorks) is a privately held finite element analysis (FEA) software company that has been operating since 2000. The firm develops electromagnetic simulation software spanning low-frequency (DC to AC magnetic) and high-frequency (RF to mmWave) regimes, with the platform organized into three core modules: EMAG for low-frequency devices (motors, transformers, busbars, inductors, solenoids, actuators), RF & Microwaves for antennas, filters, resonators, connectors, and transmission lines, and MOTORS (MotorWizard) for electric machine design and analysis. The platform supports 2D (EMWorks2D) and 3D (EMS) simulations and offers multiphysics coupling across electromagnetic, thermal, structural, motion, and circuit domains in a single workflow. Native integrations with SOLIDWORKS (as an EMS add-in) and Autodesk Inventor (for MotorWizard) plus standard CAD import allow engineers to operate directly from existing 3D geometry.

The company serves engineers designing electromagnetic devices across verticals including electric motors and machines, power electronics and transformers, RF and microwave components, magnetic gears, and wireless power transfer for EVs and medical implants. Named customers and website logos span medical devices (Applied Medical, Thermo Fisher Scientific), semiconductors and electronics (Analog Devices), HVAC and climate control (Daikin), defense and aerospace (U.S. Department of Defence, The Aerospace Corporation), precision manufacturing (DISCO Corporation), motion control (Dover Motion), electrical equipment (L.G. Electric Czech Republic, Linesoon Industrial Taiwan), instrumentation (HBK), and security (ASSA ABLOY), among others.

EMWorks monetizes through software licenses for its core modules (likely on subscription or perpetual terms, with academic and startup tiers) and through engineering consulting services. Go-to-market combines direct website-led free trials, a formal Channel Partner Program for resellers and system integrators, dedicated Academic and Startup Programs, and event- and content-driven demand generation including webinars (most recent shown in June 2024), trade exhibitions, application notes, and whitepapers. Headcount is in the 11-50 band; the company reports more than 3,000 engineers trust and use the EMWORKS platform. The firm is headquartered in Montréal, Canada and is incorporated in the United States as EMWorks Inc. Co-founder Ahmed Khebir serves as CEO and General Manager.

Core offering

EMWorks develops and sells electromagnetic simulation software based on finite element analysis (FEA), organized into three core modules: EMAG for low-frequency devices (motors, transformers, busbars, inductors, solenoids, actuators), RF & Microwaves for high-frequency components (antennas, filters, resonators, mmWave devices), and MOTORS (MotorWizard) for electric machine design. The platform supports 2D and 3D simulation with multiphysics coupling (thermal, structural, circuit, motion) and native CAD integration with SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Inventor, enabling engineers to validate electromagnetic designs from DC to mmWave before physical prototyping.

Product overview

EMWorks develops electromagnetic simulation software as a unified platform consisting of multiple modules. The core platform includes EMAG for low-frequency applications (motors, transformers, actuators, sensors), RF & Microwaves for high-frequency components (antennas, filters, resonators), and MOTORS (MotorWizard) for electric machine design. The company offers both 2D (EMWorks2D) and 3D (EMS) simulation capabilities with multiphysics coupling for thermal and structural analysis. The software integrates with CAD platforms SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Inventor, providing finite element solvers for DC to mmWave frequencies.
