Electromagnetic simulation plays a critical role in the development of electric machines, power electronics and other low-frequency electromagnetic devices. As electromagnetic models become larger and more complex and development cycles continue to shorten, engineers are expected to balance simulation accuracy, workflow efficiency and engineering productivity while supporting an increasingly connected simulation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simcenter Flux<\/a> 2026.1 introduces new capabilities that help engineers accelerate electromagnetic simulations, simplify model creation and extend electromagnetic workflows across optimization, multiphysics and system-level engineering activities<\/p>\n\n\n\n
