Ansys Motor-CAD is a dedicated electric machine design tool for fast multiphysics simulation of motor designs across the full torque-speed operating range. 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.

"Most user-friendly commercial electric machine design software."

5/5

What do you like best about Ansys Motor-CAD?

Motor-CAD provides a rare combination of user-friendly interface, great design flexibility, and a full pallet of multiphysics electric machine design simulations. This tool will satisfy an industry professional but also is simple enough for a university-level student. I have personally been involved in the advanced use of Motor-CAD for several years and I am amazed by the level of effort the development team invests in product development, documentation, and user support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Motor-CAD?

There is always room for improvement. I would personally like to add support for user-defined assymetric rotor designs and high definition FEA figure export. I am sure these features will be added in future releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Motor-CAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am mostly using Motor-CAD coupled with Matlab for non-template motor design and optimization. I am actively using all modules: Thermal, Magnetic, Mechanical, and Lab for the design of automotive traction brushless permanent magnet and synchronous reluctance machines. Apart from functionality, the biggest benefit is the interoperability of third-party tools like Matlab, Python, and OptiSlang. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
