Fast multiphysics simulation accross the full operation range of electrical machines
The software enables engineers to evaluate motor topologies across the full operating range, optimizing performance, efficiency, and size. It features four integrated modules—EM, Therm, Lab, and Mech—that allow for fast, iterative multiphysics calculations. With Motor-CAD, users can rapidly assess motor designs, exploring various topologies and advanced loss effects in the early stages of development. The software’s intuitive, template-based setup simplifies the design process, reducing reliance on multiple teams for specialized electromagnetic, thermal, or mechanical expertise. Motor-CAD provides high-fidelity 2D/3D analysis capabilities, allowing users to analyze critical factors like end effects, demagnetization, core loss, and hysteresis, while also designing complete motor cooling systems. This helps motor designers make fast, confident decisions and avoid problems later in the design cycle.

Template-Based Design and Simulation
The comprehensive geometry templates allow engineers to explore the full electric machine design space, covering a vast range of technologies, topologies, and cooling systems. The addition of ratio-based parameterization options enhances capabilities, offering unprecedented precision in parametric design optimization.
Lab Module - Vitrual Test Bench
It enables you to create multi-physics analysis early in the design process. Built-in control algorithms allow virtual testing, accounting for temperature effects during transient drive cycles or steady-state conditions, ensuring accurate performance prediction under real-world operating scenarios.
Design for Field Weakening
Motor-CAD simplifies the design process for modern electric machines by enabling quick and easy performance analysis across the full torque/speed operating range. It allows designers to assess field weakening behavior, ensuring optimized performance over the entire operating envelope.
Rotor Stress Analysis
Rapid, automatic FEA-based rotor stress analysis allows engineers to quickly optimize rotor designs while balancing electromagnetic performance with mechanical constraints. This efficient process enables better decision-making and ensures that both performance and structural integrity are considered.
Magnetic Force Analysis
Automatically extract and visualize magnetic forces as a function of time and space across the entire operating range. This capability enables comprehensive NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) analysis, providing engineers with insights into how magnetic forces affect overall design performance and refinement.
Integrates with Ansys Maxwell and Other Physics solvers
Ansys Motor-CAD integrates with Ansys Maxwell for advanced 2D/3D electromagnetics analysis and connects with Mechanical and VRXPERIENCE for noise, vibration, and sound prediction. It also links to Ansys CFD solvers for air, water, and oil cooling system design, feeding data back into Motor-CAD’s thermal model.
