What's New
Ansys Motor-CAD is now offering electric machine engineers the ability to innovate even more on their motor designs with the new adaptive template capability and achieve higher accuracy with the high fidelity efficiency mapping.
New Cooling Methods
Explore new cooling approaches and model your motor design more accurately by introducing three new cooling options commonly used in the automotive sector. You can now explore new cooling possibilities that were not previously available.
Upgraded Workflows
Increase flexibility to innovate quickly and easily with additional enhancements to the adaptive template geometry capability. The embedded Python commands allow users to customize templates and add custom geometry parameters. Users can also build up their IP library.
Enhanced Electromagnetics
Model eccentricity in induction motor designs. You can now calculate the static and dynamic eccentricity and study the effect on noise, vibration, and harshness. The hybrid FEA method now calculates both proximity and skin effect losses. This is also available for Litz wire.
MOTOR-CAD CAPABILITIES
Integrated Multiphysics Analysis Software for Electric Motor Design
With decreasing development cycles, motor designers need to make design decisions quickly, and with certainty that they will not face problems down the line. Fast calculations and streamlined data input processes leave time for Motor-CAD users to explore more motor topologies and fully assess the impact of advanced loss effects in the initial stages of a design.
Motor-CAD software’s intuitive, template-based setup and embedded multiphysics expertise simplifies the design process and reduces reliance on multiple teams for specific electromagnetic, thermal or mechanical experience — so motor designers can keep more control over their designs.

On Demand Webinar
Multiphysics Optimization of Electric Motor NVH Behavior
Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) are essential aspects that must be considered when designing and optimizing a motor. Using Ansys Motor-CAD with Ansys optiSLang, we show how to optimize the motor’s noise alongside the motor’s electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical requirements. As the design matures, structural information from Ansys Mechanical can improve the rapid analytical structural model, increasing the fidelity of the solution while maintaining the speedy solution times that allow fast design optimization.
