Overview
Electric Motors are becoming integrated in many devices and applications in modern world. They convert electrical energy into mechanical work in electric vehicles, industrial drives, robotics, pumps, fans and a huge range of household appliances. Understanding how phase currents and electromagnetic fields interact in the stator and rotor to produce torque, speed and losses is essential for designing efficient and reliable drive systems. There is a huge variety of motors in the market that can be considered for each application, without excluding the possibility to design and manufacture on demand.
With simulation, students and engineers can directly visualize flux paths and field distributions, observe how the motor responds under different operating conditions, and connect these field patterns to key performance quantities such as torque, efficiency and back-EMF.
Ansys Maxwell is an advanced electromagnetic fields solver, within Ansys Electronics Desktop, for 2D and 3D simulations. This webinar will familiarize students and educators with the available solvers, geometry creation, meshing strategies and results analysis. A live motor analysis example will be demonstrated and explained, presenting a complete workflow on the analysis stages that, like other Ansys Academic Resources, can be integrated into an undergraduate curriculum.
