Ansys Workshop: ESD Simulation of an Electronic Device using Advanced Simulation Tools
Apr 22, 2025Electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs suddenly when two objects with different electrical charges come into close contact. The resultant arc can be damaging to electronic components -causing short circuits, burning, interference, and even combustion.
ESD testing is required for most electronic products. The test standards specify voltage levels for both contact and air ESD, but until recently it has been difficult to predict the outcome of air ESD testing during the product design
stage.In this workshop, we will show an example to demonstrate a workflow for modeling an air discharge of an electronics design using ESD tools developed in Ansys Charge Plus.
