Ansys Motor-CAD
Ansys MotorCAD is a dedicated tool for electric machine design. It allows you to quickly simulate multiphysics across the entire torque-speed operating range. Motor-CAD allows engineers to evaluate motor topologies across the entire operating range. This allows them to create designs that are optimized for size, efficiency, and performance. Motor-CAD software's four modules, Emag, Therm Lab, Mech, allow multiphysics calculations to be performed quickly, iteratively, and users can move from concept to final design in a shorter time. Motor-CAD users can explore more motor topologies and fully evaluate the impact of advanced loss effects during the initial stages of an electrical mechanical design with Motor-CAD's streamlined data input process. This release features powerful new features for design optimization and multi-physics analysis, as well as system modeling for electric motors. Multiphysics simulations are fast across the entire torque-speed range.
