E-motor and e-generator design

The dedicated e-generator and e-motor design software, Simcenter E-Machine Design offers a purposely developed interface for e-motor and e-generator designers. It offers numerous of parametrized templates covering the most common e-machines topologies, including radial and axial flux machines.

The simulation workflows are fully automated so that the users can simulate the e-motor or generator performance in a few clicks. This allows designers to evaluate 100s of designs per week much faster and without being simulation experts.

Allows you to couple magnetic and thermal physics as early as you desire in the design cycle. By doing so, engineers can avoid failures and improve the life of the motor. When you consider that for every 10 Celsius (°C) above the designed temperature, the expected product life is reduced by 50 percent, frontloading multi-physics issues are critical to streamline the design process.

The accuracy of low-frequency EMAG simulations is highly dependent on material data and thorough handling of material property dependencies. Simcenter EMAG advanced material modeling accounts for nonlinearities, temperature dependencies, 2nd quadrant handling of permanent magnets, hysteresis loss and anisotropic effects. This makes it possible to analyze effects such as demagnetization in permanent magnets to verify their service life, analyze frequency-dependent losses in component laminations while reducing solution time. Account for all losses to ensure an accurate energy balance. For ease of use, the software includes an EMAG material library with over 400 materials available.

System-level or model-based analysis requires accurate sub-component models to account for interactions and local transients that affect the overall system behavior.

Simcenter low-frequency EMAG includes capabilities such as native circuit simulations, connections for co-simulation and exporting of 1D system models for Simcenter Flomaster, Simcenter Amesim, Xpedition AMS and other platforms.

Simcenter 3D offers a multi-discipline platform for cross-department collaboration. Different teams can build EMAG, structural, thermal, or acoustics simulations associated with the same geometry, making it easier for departments to stay in sync.

Couple EMAG forces with transmission and acoustics simulation to validate the NVH performance of your integrated e-drive. Includes the coupling effect of EMAG forces and torque ripple with the mechanical components to increase accuracy.

The rising complexity of electric machines requires novel cooling systems, and this means that you need to consider detailed multi-physics validation. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ allows you to couple EMAG, fluid flow and thermal simulations and evaluate the cooling performance on an electric motor or generator with the highest accuracy.
