Testing Electromag Nodes on Apple M4 mac mini, very impressed with its performance in handling a complex scene like this. The magnetic field calculations are updated in realtime with no lag in EEVEE with a compositor node setup. The video shows the magnetic field of an embedded rogowski current...

This is truly remarkable, Sam 😍. And we wish to expand our design verification tools of power modules and PCBs in this direction. We understand that the CPU/GPU markets are way beyond us, but believe that efficient SiC/GaN design will require similar efforts. Thank you.

Can you recommend how I might get started if I have some high voltage inductive actuators that I’d like to either optimize or redesign?

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

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

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
