Simcenter™ Motorsolve™ software is the complete design and analysis software for permanent magnet, induction, synchronous, electronically, and brush-commutated machines. It leverages the fast nature of equivalent circuits and the accuracy of FEA, with the synergy of automating the nonproductive tasks for rapid and accurate analysis of electric machines.

Our products template-based interface is easy to use and flexible enough to handle practically any motor topology, with provision for custom rotors and stators. Typical FEA operations such as mesh and solver refinements, winding design, motion, and post-processing including the export of 1D models, are not required as the software handles these for the user. Performance parameters, waveforms, and field plots are available with just a click.

Simcenter Motorsolve is the complete design and analysis software for permanent  magnet, induction, synchro-nous, electronically and brush-commutated machines.

Motor and generator designers can use this template-based software for quick and easy virtual prototyping.

Simcenter Motorsolve™ simulates machine performance using equivalent circuit and our unique automated finite element analysis engine. Typical FEA user controls such as mesh refinements are not required as Simcenter Motorsolve performs these operations for the user.

Features

◆ Automatically calculates list of all  balanced windings

◆ Auto-size: Get an initial value for sev-eral parameters related to the size of the machine based on torque per unit volume or rated current density

◆ DXF Import of the rotor, stator, and armature geometry

◆ VHDL-AMS and Simulink© export capabilities

◆ Create multiple design alternates in the same model to do quick and easy performance comparisons

◆ Pre-defined library of linear, nonlinear and anisotropic materials

◆ Several winding diagrams available (Phase Back-EM. Winding factors, Görges diagram, Animated Airgap MMF, etc)

◆ Dedicated electrical machine environ-ment which allows a designer to explore the solution space

◆ Fully coupled drive-electromagnetic-mechanical-thermal simulations

◆ Explore the parameter space for a solution and automatically produce a report on the results.

◆ Shorten time to market of a new design as well as lowering the overall costs of the design

Automated FEA engine

Simcenter Motorsolve includes several analysis methods, suitable for different phases of the design process. Outputs quantities, waveforms, fields and charts can be based on different analysis methods, allowing users to choose the computation time based on their required degree of accuracy.Only FEA simulations accurately predict:

◆ Performance when there is saturation

◆ Hysteresis, eddy current and winding loss

◆ Deep bar effects

◆ Coupled Electromagnetic and Thermal effectsPerformance parameters, waveforms and field plots are available with just one click.

Simcenter Motorsolve Thermal
