GPU Accelerated Solver
New in 2024 R1, EMC Plus now supports GPU (graphics processing unit) acceleration. The solver runs on Linux platforms. Simulations can be run utilizing multiple GPUs in parallel. This leads to significantly shorter run times than pure CPU (central processing unit) simulation. Benchmarks show inexpensive GPUs simulate four times faster than using a multi-core CPU alone. Scaling on multiple GPUs and more performant GPU hardware shows additional speed improvement. EMC Plus will work as it always has, but now new binaries will call a special version of the software that will utilize GPU calls. If the machine has a GPU, the user just needs to specify the number of cards that will be used.
3D Field and Current Visualization
Our second highlighted feature is the ability to visualize quantities in 3D. This update will help to better communicate product performance from an electromagnetic standpoint. This feature quickly visualizes quantities, such as electric fields, magnetic fields, and electric current, in 3D. To start, users need to create a box to contain the fields to probe. Once a quantity has been specified, users have the option to specify the time range the results will show, this is seen in Figure 1. After running the simulation, the results are superimposed on the geometry, Figure 2. Clipping planes slice through the results to find the regions for users to inspect.

Users have the ability to select which timestep to view and the field/ current quantity and X, Y, Z, or the magnitude may be specified. When viewing the results, the maximum and minimum range in the legend is interactive. The slice tools allows users to change which part of the 3D space is visible.

As an example, if you have an enclosure, there are fields that may be coming in through different apertures or coupling mechanisms. This new visualization will show hot spots to determine where you have coupling. In a radiation problem you will be able to visualize the radiation pattern in the far field from the antenna. This tool uses the native Ansys Discovery visualization engine to set up the simulation, run the simulation, and visualize the results.
Transfer Impedance Simulator
The third highlighted new feature for 2024 R1 is the addition of a transfer impedance simulator. This will allow users to predict the transfer impedance of a braided shield. McDonald says the new feature gives users a way to do that with the least amount of effort possible since every aspect of the simulation is automated. Braided cables have imperfections, or small holes, that allow fields to couple through, this can be seen in Figure 3. These holes can allow fields to couple inside the braids. Transfer impedance is an important method of assessing the shielding effectiveness of the cable while doing it in an intrinsic way that does not change from measurement to measurement.


Fig. 3. Left: Overbraid CAD. Right: Close-up of mesh superimposed on the braid geometry.
EMA has existing analytical models for transfer impedance, and it is an important metric used in the MHARNESS solver of EMC Plus as a frequency-dependent measure of the shielding of a cable braid. This new feature uses full-wave simulation which will lead to more accurate results. This is an automated workflow. The braid geometry is automatically created based on input specifications, such as stands, carriers, and weave angle. Once a CAD model has been generated, the software creates the appropriate domain, source, and probe definitions. EMC Plus also meshes the geometry and executes the simulation. Users also have the ability to change settings for fine control over the geometry and model type. Each individual carrier in the braid can be defined as either a line, surface, or a body, seen in Figure 5. McDonald says the surface or line representations simulate much faster, but they are not as accurate as the body representation. He says the body simulation is the highest fidelity but has the highest computational cost.


Fig. 5. EMC Plus allows for flexible braid modeling.
Other customizable pieces of the model include multiple types of weave angles in the cables and carriers that create different gaps seen in braided cables. Also, the radius of the overall shield, the number of carriers, the number of individual strands, wire diameters, pitch angle, the overall length of the cable, and the excitation frequency that the user wants to focus on.
Cable Wiring Connectivity Automatic Assignment to 3D Cable from Mechanical CAD
Featured highlight number four is the ability to automatically assign cable wire connectivity data to 3D cables from mechanical CAD. This makes full vehicle simulation easier. In automotive applications, cables are represented in cable database software, often called wiring diagrams, and are typically a wire board representation. This will tell the user information such as which electronic device is connected to another electronic device and the number of pins that are connected. These are represented as KBL files. This is inherently a two-dimensional process. If the user needs the 3D path of the cables, it is contained within 3D mechanical computer aided design (mCAD). The latest update to EMC Plus can automatically merge the cable wiring connectivity information and the 3D path of the cables based on the segment identifying names. If 3D geometry of the harness route exists, it can be used to map the 2D wiring to the correct 3D location. The lines representing harness routes should be labeled with the correct segment identifier matching the labels in the cable database software file, Figure 6.


Fig. 6. Cable database wiring diagram mapping to 3D geometry.
To merge the two separate pieces of information, users have to start by importing the 2D wiring diagram file from the cable database software. To map the 2D wiring diagram file to the 3D geometry, the "Map 2D Harness" box must be checked, Figure 7. Use NURBS as the line type. By pressing the next button, the mapping process is initiated and a 3D KBL file is created.

After clicking next, users can select which segments to import, Fig. 8. The geometry for each segment can also be selected from the wiring diagram file or assigned to a curve in the model manually. By right clicking you can select all.

Once the import wizard finishes the harness import the 3D harness will be visible and the cross section of each segment can be visualized. By right clicking on a segment, you can choose to see the cross section, Fig. 9.

New Integrated Data Processing Tools
In 2024 R1, Charge Plus is integrating further with the Ansys Discovery interface. Discovery now plugs into Ansys Graphite to better visualize data in 3D, including overlaying results on top of the 3D CAD model. Users can visualize quantities in 3D quickly by creating a box to contain the fields to probe, Figure 1. Next the probe type is classified as either electric field, magnetic field, electric current, or air conductivity. Optionally, users can specify the time range which the results will be visualized along with the period between capturing results. After running the simulation, the results are superimposed on the geometry. Clipping planes slice through the results to find the region for users to inspect.

This new feature will allow users to easily locate where arcs and sparks are happening in a given system. Additional features available in the visualization tool include better monitoring of variables related to radiation hardening, the fluid solver, and the particle-in-cell (PIC) solver. Extra probes have been added, specifically for the finite element method (FEM) solver. Previously, users had to look at the data, such as the potential average, over the whole system. Now users can select a given body in the model and report on the data specifically.
GPU Accelerated FDTD Solver
Charge Plus now supports GPU acceleration for faster simulation times compared to CPU simulation. The solver runs on Linux platforms and simulations may be run utilizing multiple GPUs in parallel. Benchmarks show inexpensive GPUs simulate four times faster. Scaling on multiple GPUs and more performant GPU hardware shows additional speed improvement. For example, a full system ESD on PCB model with variable mesh and nonlinear air chemistry was run on a 3GB Ram desktop once using CPU and once using GPU. The simulation had 52 million mesh elements and 460,000 time steps. The compute time on the CPU was 1,866 minutes. On the GPU it was 471 minutes. Showing that the GPU run time was four times faster than the CPU.
Mesh Updates
In this release, adaptive mesh group layers have been added to support plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) workflow, specifically the PIC and fluid solvers. Users are now able to define a very thin mesh near the boundaries of the problem space. These plasma regions are typically called plasma sheaths and are critical for the calculation of electromagnetic fields and the distribution of particles within the chamber. Plasma sheaths can easily be looked at within Charge Plus using the adaptive mesh group feature. It is found by clicking on Settings then Add/Edit Adaptive Mesh Group as shown in Figure 3.


Fig. 3. Adaptive Mesh Group can be found under the settings tab.
HFSS Field Import for FEM
2024 R1 features a new way to import electromagnetic fields from Ansys HFSS to the FEM solver. Waveguides are created in HFSS and the modes are imported into Charge Plus. The mode that was imported from the waveguide is shown on the left in Figure 5. The results are shown on the right of Figure 5 and depict the magnitude of the electromagnetic field.


Fig. 5. Imported waveguide from HFSS (left). Results shown in Charge Plus (right).
Inside of the plastic bottle that is being simulated in Figure 5, a thin coating of glass could be added. To simulate that material, the user would want to use the PEVD method. By importing the fields from the HFSS simulation users can see the electron and ion distributions inside the bottle that results from those fields. Users can then calculate the deposition efficiency and the deposition process within the bottle.
New PIC Emission Models
Four new PIC surface emission models and space charge limiting models have been added in 2024 R1. This includes:
- Thermionic Emission and Schottky Emission
- Space Charge Limited Emission
- Secondary Electron Yield Emission
- Field Emission (Cold Field Emission > 1E8 V/m)
In PIC solver models, typically electrons and ions are responding to electromagnetic fields in an ambient electron environment at a given volume. As of 24R1, users now have the capability to use various types of emission models for these electrons to better model realistic environments, including harsh environments where fields are very intense. To model these electron generation events, a boundary condition will be defined with the various currents. This will define the number of electrons to be generated from that surface. The thermionic emission and Schottky emission give users the ability to define the number of electrons that would be generated from a heated electrode based on the electromagnetic fields that would be present in a certain system. This applies to electron gun simulations, as seen in Figure 6.


Fig. 6. Election gun modeling in PIC solver
Modeling space limited emission is now also possible. This method is explicitly modeled by our physics solver. Plasma sheaths are modeled, and field distributions are used to update the fields near cathodes using the adaptive mesh that was also released in 2024 R1. Secondary emission models are better simulated with the use of EMA's Space Environment and Radiation Effects (SERE) test chamber. In this model, secondary election yield parameters are defined. EMA does this using the SERE chamber. Once testing is complete the data is imported into Charge Plus. This allows users to solve problems such as multiple action or various charging effects that would be seen in space. The final new method is the field emission model. This is an emission of electrons when the fields are very high, more than 1E8 V/m. or when gaps are very small. For example, electrons in a piece of metal will tunnel through the surface of that metal and be emitted through a vacuum gap. To be able to model the discharges in the small gaps, users will need to use the field emission model. This is made possible thanks to the FEM solver.
Radiation Hardening One-Click Workflow
A new automatic workflow for radiation hardening has been added to Charge Plus. Users are able to connect to Ansys STK and get energy spectra for a specific ephemeris. To start the automatic workflow, users need to head to the Charge ribbon and click the arrow beneath the radiation hardening button and select settings. Within the settings menu, change the number of time steps to one and update the STK satellite name to 'MySat.' Click 'Run on Complete' to start the simulation.
