Quickly analyze the performance of designs over the operating envelope, including field weakening behavior.
Built-in electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical solvers
Coupled multi-physics analysis from the start of the design process and built-in control algorithms enable virtual testing considering temperature effects over transient drive cycles or at steady state.
Thermal sizing of the machines
Ability to predict the thermal behavior of electric machines through a built-in 3D thermal network.
Electromagnetic and vibro-acoustic design of electric motors
"Ansys provides virtual validation of electric motor component design"
Magnetic Field Solution
The electromagnetic simulation of the motor, provided by Ansys Maxwell, determines the radial, tangential and axial forces associated with the machine’s performance.
Acoustic
The acoustic representations of radiating vibrational noise are imported into Ansys VRXPERIENCE, enabling users to hear the electric motor at varying rpms.
Vibration
Simulation results from Ansys Maxwell and Ansys Mechanical provide key inputs to realize the goal of measuring auditory perception and assessing a vehicle’s NVH performance. The structural simulation incorporates these forces in the presence of the motor housing.
VRXPERIENCE
Hearing the motor enables engineers to isolate and identify sub-components of the acoustic profile and investigate the influence on human perception.
