What do you like best about Ansys Maxwell?

I am using Ansys Maxwell for the industrialization phase of the traction motor development. I have used other electromagnetic FEA tools too but when comparing to those Ansys Maxwell provides a really good user friendly interface and wide range of post processing capabilities to the user. In built circuit editor simplorer provides a platform to couple the power electronics with electromagnetic FEA which allows us to model the motor more accurately.

What do you dislike about Ansys Maxwell?

Rmxprt can be improved a lot. Improving the capabilities to export the electromagnetic results to other software like Star CCM, Ansa, etc., for further studies such as thermal and structural. Importing mesh from other meshing software into the tool can be added since it provides greater flexibility for the end user to use the same mesh in different software for the further analysis. All the motor control models are created in MATLAB so it will be a great advantage if Ansys Maxwell can provide a way to export the FEA results into a MATLAB compatible 1D model for the further study of control systems.

What problems is Ansys Maxwell solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using Ansys Maxwell to solve the problems which arise in the industrialization phase such as rotor eccentricity, Loss evaluation due to material change, 1D model development. It provides us a huge cost benefit by providing us a virtual prototype of e machine which can be tested before creating the actual prototype. Also certain kind of destructive studies such as demagnetization study can be done using this tool without actually losing the prototype. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
