SUMMARY:Magnetic Modeling - How Frenetic Models Magnetics
DESCRIPTION:How Frenetic Models Magnetics — a transparent deep-dive\n\n\nWednesday\, February 25\, 4:00 PM\nWhat actually happens when Frenetic simulates a magnetic component? \n  \nBehind every inductance value\, loss estimation\, and thermal prediction\, there is a modeling approach built on physical assumptions. Understanding how those models work — and where they reach their limits — is essential for designing with confidence. \n  \nIn this 30-minute session\, Jonas Mühlethaler\, CTO of Frenetic and Professor of Electrical Engineering at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU)\, will break down Frenetic’s modeling approach step by step — from reluctance and loss calculations to thermal predictions — illustrated with a concrete example. \n  \nHe will also explain where analytical models reach their limits\, and why planar magnetics often call for FEM due to their geometric complexity and strong coupling effects. \n  \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nHow Frenetic builds magnetic circuit models using reluctance methods\nHow core and copper losses are calculated\nHow thermal predictions are derived\nWhere analytical models perform reliably\nWhy certain geometries — especially planar magnetics — challenge simplified assumptions\n\nThis session is not about comparing modeling tools. \nIt’s a transparent look at how physical modeling is applied in real magnetic design.

SUMMARY:What’s Next in Power Electronics Design
DESCRIPTION:Frenetic 2026: What’s Next in Power Electronics Design\nWednesday\, February 11\, 4:00 PM \nPower electronics design is evolving fast\, not because of trends\, but because real constraints are getting tighter: higher power density\, shorter timelines\, stricter validation requirements\, and growing pressure to move designs from concept to production with fewer iterations. \n  \nIn this 30-minute session\, we’ll share a clear and realistic view of what we’re seeing across the industry\, how those signals are shaping Frenetic’s product direction\, and which technical conversations we believe will matter most in 2026. \n  \nWe’ll discuss about: \n\nHow recent customer feedback has influenced the latest updates in Frenetic Magnetic Simulator\nA short and transparent look at the 2026 product roadmap\nKey trends already emerging in automotive\, aerospace & defense\, and manufacturing\, grounded in real projects and market signals\nHow we’re evolving our webinar program\, regional sessions\, and technical discussions this year\n\nJoin a conversation about where power electronics design is heading\, and how teams are adapting in real-world conditions.

SUMMARY:Simplifying Vehicle Development with Automotive Ethernet and Zonal Smart Switch Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Simplifying Vehicle Development with Automotive Ethernet and Zonal Smart Switch Technologies\nWebinar Presented by Würth Elektronik & onsemi\nTuesday\, January 27th 2026 @ 4:00PM CET\n\nCar makers are increasingly embracing software-defined vehicle architectures to elevate the driving experience while streamlining development and reducing costs associated with traditional hardware-centric systems. Innovative features—such as customizable lighting patterns—can now be deployed on existing ECU hardware without modifying the ECU software\, significantly cutting down software validation efforts and accelerating time to market. Zonal electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures not only enable these software-defined capabilities but also simplify power distribution\, leading to reduced vehicle weight\, lower costs\, and enhanced safety and performance. \nJoin Würth Elektronik and onsemi to explore dynamic zonal and power distribution strategies and discover how our smart switch solutions can help you tackle design challenges in next-generation automotive platforms.
