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.

GMSWorks
GMSWorks 4.4, the latest version of the CAD/CAM software, has been helping engineers design complex parts since 1982. This computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM software package) includes a full integration with the new DESIGNBASE advanced modelling kernel. It features superior freeform surface and solid geometry modeling, as well as unmatched design editing capabilities. Major improvements to complex surface modeling and solid modeling enable the design, modification and manufacture of today's most difficult parts. GMSWorks offers a wide range of design editing capabilities. You can modify your design in many ways, including by using advanced history management, direct geometry manipulation, or changing a parameter dimension. The new graphical interface allows for stunning 3-D visualizations of design, using OpenGL to deliver better quality images, faster rendering, and dynamic work.

Altair SimSolid
SimSolid is the revolutionary simulation technology for engineers, designers, and analysts. It performs structural analyses on fully-featured CAD assemblies in minutes. SimSolid eliminates geometry preparation, meshing, and other errors that are time-consuming and difficult to perform in conventional structural simulations.
Multiple design scenarios can be simulated quickly under real-life conditions. You can use any CAD model, even an early one. SimSolid tolerance for imprecise geometry means SimSolid simulation tools don't need to be simplified before analyzing designs.
SimSolid supports all types of connections (bolt/nuts, bonded, rivets and sliding) and analysis for linear static, modal, and thermal properties. It also supports complex coupled, nonlinear, dynamic effects.

JSCAD
JSCAD is an open source set of browser-based, modular, and command-line tools that allow you to create parametric 2D or 3D designs using Javascript code. It is a fast, accurate, and reproducible method to generate 3D models. This is especially useful for 3D printing applications. There are many JSCAD 'flavors' that you can choose from depending on your needs. JSCAD is a solids-modeling system. Although it is unitless in principle, JSCAD exports files so that 1 unit in JSCAD corresponds with 1 millimeter in your model. JSCAD modeling is often about building the shape you want from primitives. However, there are many options to achieve the same shape. To learn more about the capabilities of JSCAD, take a look at the examples in the info menu. Booleans are an important tool in the solid modeling toolkit. You can create many of the shapes you need on your journey by simply joining, subtracting, and intersecting simple shapes.
