Electromagnetic (EM) Consulting Services
Expert help getting EM simulation work done right.
Electromagnetic (EM) consulting from Ansys experts
KETIV’s electronics simulation consultants run electromagnetic, electrothermal, and electromechanical analyses across the Ansys Electronics Desktop toolchain. We work as an extension of your engineering team on the projects you don’t have the bandwidth or in-house specialism to take on alone: antenna placement studies, motor sizing, SI/PI sign-off, EMI/EMC investigations, electrothermal coupling, and the multiphysics handoffs that connect all of the above.
EM analysis that holds up to test data
Strengthen your product development with KETIV’s electromagnetic team. Our consultants act as a working extension of your engineering group on antenna, motor, power-conversion, signal-integrity, and electrothermal projects. The output is a defensible result with documented assumptions, not a marketing diagram.
We work with companies who already have Ansys licenses and need an experienced engineer on the project, with teams who are evaluating whether simulation can replace a physical test, and with startups who don’t yet have the headcount for a dedicated EM analyst. The engagements range from a single-week study to multi-month design programs.
The Ansys tools KETIV solves with
Ansys HFSS consulting
The 3D full-wave EM solver for the high-frequency side of the portfolio. KETIV consultants run HFSS projects covering antenna design and placement, antenna array studies, RF and microwave components, IC and PCB analyses, signal-integrity sign-off for high-speed interconnects, and EMI/EMC investigations. Where the geometry crosses domains, we use Mesh Fusion to keep the model tractable; where the model gets larger than a single workstation can handle, we plan the HPC run with you. Common engagements include port-tuning a custom antenna, validating an EMC pre-compliance result against chamber data, and chasing a return-loss artifact that bench tests can’t reproduce.
Ansys Maxwell consulting
The low-frequency EM solver for electric machines, transformers, wireless power, and sensors. KETIV consultants help with the calls that decide whether a Maxwell result matches the test bench: 2D versus 3D, transient versus frequency-domain, mesh strategy around magnets and air gaps, and how to fold in temperature-dependent material properties. Typical engagements include sizing a permanent-magnet motor against an efficiency target, predicting core losses for a custom transformer, modeling a wireless-charging coil pair across alignment offsets, and running an electrothermal study where Maxwell hands losses to Icepak.
Ansys Motor-CAD consulting
The multiphysics tool for electric machine design across the full torque-speed envelope. KETIV uses Motor-CAD on EV traction motor sizing programs, axial flux machine concept work, wound-rotor synchronous machine optimization, and design-space exploration where ratio-based parameterization can sweep hundreds of candidate geometries in the time hand-tuning would take. We also handle the Motor-CAD-to-Maxwell handoff when a candidate needs detailed FEA verification before sign-off.
AEDT companion tools:
Icepak, Q3D Extractor, SIwave, and Twin Builder
The Ansys Electronics Desktop tools rarely run in isolation. KETIV consultants cover the chain: Icepak for electrothermal and PCB cooling, Q3D Extractor for parasitic extraction on packages and power modules, SIwave for power-integrity and DC IR-drop on PDNs, and Simplorer (Twin Builder) for system-level studies that close the loop with controls and circuit models. Typical multi-tool engagements include HFSS-to-Q3D parasitic extraction for a high-speed connector, Maxwell-to-Icepak electrothermal verification on an inverter busbar, and HFSS-to-SIwave-to-Icepak workflows that produce a single defensible result for a PCB program. KETIV also covers EMIT for RF cosite and Sherlock for reliability when the program requires them. Industries we work with on EM projects

Ansys White Paper
Electrothermal Mechanical Stress Reference Design Flow for Printed Circuit Boards and Electronic Packages
PCB simulation can be utilized for all electrical CAD (ECAD) types such as IC packages, touch panel displays, and glass and silicon interposers. The authors of this white paper followed this reference design flow for analyzing a PCB virtual prototype used in the consumer electronics industry. The design flow details nearly all aspects of the modeling technique from studying electrical connections in a schematic and setting up the PCB to analyzing the electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics of the board — all using ANSYS tools. The multiphysics simulation yields power losses across the entire board and its objects, determines whether the integrated circuit (IC) and overall board temperatures lie within safe operating limits and predicts overall PCB reliability, taking into account all its components and heat sinks.
