Motor-CAD enables design engineers to evaluate motor topologies and concepts, produce designs that are optimized for performance, efficiency, size, cost, weight, as well as other specifications, and automates the analysis process with built-in electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical solvers. Motor-CAD models can be transferred to Ansys Maxwell, Ansys Icepak and Ansys Fluent for deep analysis and validation of motor designs. Combining these solvers with Motor-CAD delivers high-fidelity, 2D/3D analysis capability enabling users to analyze end-effects, demagnetization, core loss, hysteresis, and other advanced electromagnetic phenomena, calculate the thermal envelope for operation, and design complete motor cooling systems.
