Leverage the power of 3D electromagnetic simulation to visualize, analyze, and optimize complex systems – from electric machines to energy transmission.
With SimScale’s cloud-native platform, engineers can explore electromagnetic fields with precision and speed. Run simulations directly in your browser, collaborate in real time, and accelerate innovation without the cost and constraints of physical prototyping.
SimScale is the world’s first AI-native cloud platform for engineering simulation. For electromagnetics, that means two AI systems working together; Engineering AI to automate manual setup, and Physics AI to eliminate solve time. Your team can test motor, transformer, coil, and solenoid design variants at the speed of thought, not the speed of HPC.

Design and refine solenoids, clutches, and actuators by virtually testing magnetic fields, force output, and thermal behavior under realistic conditions. Engineers can optimize coil geometry, response speed, and energy efficiency, while evaluating durability in precision applications. This approach reduces reliance on physical prototypes and ensures reliable performance across industrial and consumer electromechanical systems.
Electromagnetic simulation enables engineers to design and optimize probes for non-destructive testing with greater precision. By virtually analyzing electromagnetic field distribution, sensitivity, and penetration depth, probe designs can be refined to detect cracks and defects with high accuracy. This approach ensures efficient fault detection across a wide range of materials and defect sizes, reducing development costs while improving the reliability of inspections.
Electromagnetic simulation of busbars enables engineers to optimize current distribution, minimize skin effect, and reduce resistive losses in high-power applications. Thermal analysis helps predict heat generation, identify hotspots, and evaluate cooling strategies to ensure safe and reliable operation under heavy loads. This approach supports the design of efficient, durable busbars for industrial, automotive, and power distribution systems.
In the past two years, SimScale has helped Solero pursue 10 new business opportunities in ride dynamics suspension solenoids, battery cooling, and transmission solenoids.

The best tool depends on the physics you need to model (low-frequency vs. high-frequency, steady-state vs. transient) and how fast your team needs to iterate. Legacy tools like Ansys HFSS, SIMULIA CST, and Cadence offer deep capability but require HPC infrastructure, local installs, and specialist expertise. SimScale is a modern alternative: an AI-native, cloud-native platform with 3D FEA solvers for low-frequency EM, Engineering AI copilots that automate setup, and Physics AI that delivers near-instant design exploration — all in a browser, with no HPC headaches.
SimScale supports 3D Finite Element Analysis for low-frequency electromagnetics, including magnetostatics, time-harmonic magnetics, electrostatics, time-domain magnetics, and thermal coupling. Motion coupling and circuit coupling are on the roadmap. Typical applications include electric motors and generators, transformers and power engineering, wireless power transfer, magnetic couplings, induction heating, solenoids and actuators, non-destructive testing probes, and busbars.
HFSS and CST are high-frequency specialists (RF, microwave, antenna, EMC) with mature full-wave electromagnetics capability. SimScale focuses on low-frequency EM — the physics behind motors, transformers, actuators, and power devices — and pairs it with AI-native workflows and cloud scale. The difference is operating model: HFSS and CST need local installs, HPC licenses, and specialist expertise; SimScale runs in a browser, auto-scales compute, and uses Engineering AI to guide setup, so broader teams — not just EM specialists — can run studies.
SimScale’s EM solvers are validated against industry-standard benchmarks, including the TEAM (Testing Electromagnetic Analysis Methods) Workshop problems 20 (magnetostatics) and 24 (rotor). Cloud versus on-premise has no effect on solver accuracy — the numerical physics is the same. Engineers at Solero Technologies, Rimac, Magna, Mitsubishi, Johnson & Johnson, and 800,000+ other users rely on SimScale for production design decisions.
