New update on combining FastHenry and Blender 🔶 , I've added the ability to calculate the mutual inductance between objects! Also developed a basic UI inside Blender to visualise the results and to highlight the inductively coupled objects. This video shows some examples of what can be donw now.... First demo shows how you can model the impedance of die bond wires and the coupling to adjacent wires, you make adjustments to their lengths and curvatures and see the results in near-real-time. Second demo shows calculating inductances and mutual inductance of air-core inductors with arbitrary positions and deformations. Third demo shows simulating PCB coils over a range of frequencies for applications such as wireless power and distance sensing. And you can combine this with Electromag Nodes to visualise the magnetic fields! #b3d #blender3d #geometrynodes #electronics #hardware #science #technology #pcbdesign #kicad #altium #ansys #3dart #programmer #python #engineering #semiconductors #circuits #inductors #componentsshow more

@Blender I swear AGI is going to come out of geometry nodes. Good work!

@Blender This is great, Sam. To calculate the inductance in PCB layout for switch power supply is so important.

very excited to share what I've been working on, I've created an addon which allows you to run FastHenry directly in Blender! you can use the power of Blender to create any curve object and then call FastHenry to simulate the resistance and inductance. This demo video shows how you can calculate the resistance and inductance of a bond wire in a power module. You can experiement with different shapes and curvatures and see how the inductance changes. Furthermore you can control the radius with geomotry nodes! Also, you can combine this with ElectroMag Nodes to then visualise the magnetic fields! This addon will be a free update to ElectroMag Nodes #b3d #blender3d #geometrynodes #inductance #electronics #hardware #science #engineering #pcbdesign #educational #magnet #kicad #freecad #altium Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio hackaday

You can now use Blender Fasthenry to do PCB layout studies, calculate impedances of loops and return paths and determine how many vias you need! This demo shows how the impedance of DC decoupling capacitor is impacted by its distance from the IC, and the number of vias under the IC and near the capacitor. This is for a two-layer 1.6mm PCB at 1MHz. Blender FastHenry is now a solid tool for layout simulations and impedance calculations, available on Github. #b3d #geometrynodes #engineering #science #electronics #Simulation #kicad #altium #hardware #technology #3dmodeling #pcbdesign hackaday Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio

Wire bonding and lead impedance calculation in Blender FastHenry! I've improved how the simulation results are visualised, the entire objects now gets overlaid with a colour rather than using bound boxes. Red is for showing the self-inductance of a selected objected, yellow for mutually coupled objects and blue for conductive plane objects. Very impressed how easy it is nowadays to code anything with Python and Blender #b3d #electronics #engineering #science #pcbdesign #hadware #geometrynodes #3dmodeling #educational #simulation #fasthenry #altium #pythonlearning #electromagnetics #kicad

You can use Blender's geometry nodes to solve physics and electromagnetic equations such as Biot-Savart law. You can calculate the magnetic field of a coil anywhere in 3D space and visualise the magnetic fields. Additionally, you can see in real-time how the magnetic field lines change as the coil gets deformed and twisted! #geometrynodes #b3d #blender3d #electronics #Engineering #Science #physics #kicad #circuits

continuing with my PEEC solver in Blender for inductors. Now I have a basic Python/Numba code that can calculate skin and proximity. You can see as the frequency increases the current shifts towards to the outer surface and also gets affected by adjacent turns #b3d #geometrynodes #electronics #Technology #science

Designing MRI coils using ElectroMag Nodes! You can visualise the magnetic field lines generated by the superconducting electromagnets in MRI machines and see how making adjustments to them impacts the strength and shape of the field lines, and especially the straightness of lines in the centre In am using the new gizmos in geometry nodes to quickly add and adjust coils. Next I will be also adding the gradient coils. #b3d #geometrynodes #blender3d #mri #art #science #physics #electronics #engineering #simulation #render

It has finally happened - my first video guide on how to create electromagnetic openEMS simulations with Blender 🔶 is now available! This video guide will show you to first create geometries and specify ports in #blender3d , export them to openEMS, write a few python scripts, and then using geometry nodes to visualise and animate the results back in Blender. The video is based on the Rotman lens animation I did previously as the workflow for it covers a wide range of topics. I hope you find this video informative. Everything is done using open-source tools including #inkscape, #paraview and Octave! #b3d #electronics #hardware #science #educational #physics #engineering #geometrynodes hackaday #openEMS #electromagnetics #tutorial #mathematics #antenna #rf #kicad #altium

simulating layouts with Blender FastHenry! you can now export spice netlist of your Blender scene and run a layout spice simulation. Here I am using kiCAD Ngspice to see study the switch node voltage ringing of NMOS half-bridge with TO-220 packages. You can see how moving DC link capacitors closer, and shortening leads reduces the amount of ringing and overshoot. Blender 🔶 KiCad PCB Daniel Bogdanoff Dave Jones

Procedural toroidal inductor using gemeotry nodes! You can control pretty much everything! Add turns, control winding wire radius, turn spread and positions, colors. Evenmore, you controll how the windings terminate to the pins! Add you can add a second winding to create a transformer! and finally you can add a label on top! #b3d #blender3d #geometrynodes #blenderart #3dart #electronics #hardware #engineering #science #physics #Arduino #kicad

When winding a toroid, it is recommended to evenly distribute the windings for better core utilisation and to reduce parasitic capacitance, but what happens if you bunch the turns closely, does the inductance increase or decrease? This video shows the inductance calculation in real time for an RF toroid as the windings spread is changed, I also did measurements to compare between evenly distributed and tightly grouped windings using the LDC1314 Inductance to Digital Converter from Texas Instruments

Just look at the new Compositing in Blender 5.2. This is cool. Now the compositor can play sequence animation in real-time right in the compositor, and look at this, I'm doing color grading while the animation is playing. On top of that, the overall performance of the Compositor has grown a lot, and it now works at a level where you don't need to use DaVinci Fusion and can work fully in Blender. Because now Blender can definitely do that. Blender 🔶 This is an awesome update! Maybe you will think about adding the ability to move images in Compositing just by dragging them with the mouse, in some of the next updates...
