Ansys (Synopsys)

Ansys Motor-CAD

Ansys Motor-CAD supports multiphysics electric-machine design across thermal, electromagnetic and mechanical domains.

On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.

Workflow ideas

Define a motor concept

Begin with the device geometry, materials and frequency or operating range. In the intended Ansys Motor-CAD preview, define a motor concept; the visible result is an electromagnetic model with regions and conductors identified. Review material properties, units, symmetry and geometric fidelity before accepting or exporting it.

Sweep operating conditions

Use the selected excitations, ports and sweep controls. In the intended Ansys Motor-CAD preview, sweep operating conditions; the visible result is a configured solve state with boundaries and source definitions visible. Review reference directions, mesh refinement and solution setup before accepting or exporting it.

Review efficiency and thermal limits

Start from the field solution and derived performance quantities. In the intended Ansys Motor-CAD preview, review efficiency and thermal limits; the visible result is field plots, losses or network results linked to the selected design. Review convergence, energy balance, sweep resolution and design limits before accepting or exporting it.
