Simcenter MotorSolve for Electric Motor Design
Accurately design electric motors with easy-to-use
Simcenter Motorsolve is a complete design and analysis solution for permanent magnet, induction, synchronous, electronically, and brush-commutated machines. The software leverages finite element analysis with an intuitive interface for accurate simulations of electric machines.
The template-based interface is easy to use and flexible enough to handle practically any motor topology, with provision for custom rotors and stators. Typical FEA operations such as mesh and solver refinements, winding layout and post-processing (including the export of 1D models) are automated by the software. Performance parameters, waveforms, and field plots are available with just a mouse click.
The configuration and efficiency of an electric motor’s coil winding play a crucial role in determining its overall design and performance—often requiring years of refinement and numerous design cycles to optimize. Simcenter Motorsolve helps accelerate this process by streamlining development, reducing both time to market and associated costs.
Simcenter Motorsolve empowers motor designers with advanced configurability and predictive design tools that streamline the development process. With set-parameter control, engineers can confidently adjust key design elements such as end winding type, stack gap, neighbor gap, and blend radius—enabling early detection of design issues and improved visibility into performance impacts.
The software enhances the winding design workflow through several key features:
Automated FEA workflows for post-processing and winding layout, reducing manual tasks and improving efficiency
Automatic generation of balanced winding configurations, helping ensure design accuracy and electromagnetic symmetry
Accurate prediction of coil winding end effects, including electromagnetic forces that influence performance and structural integrity
Flexibility to modify standard designs or input fully customized configurations, allowing greater design freedom
Access to an extensive library of established winding diagrams, offering a foundation for new designs or reference points for validation
With these capabilities, Simcenter Motorsolve enables engineers to make smarter, faster decisions during the early stages of motor design—leading to shorter development cycles, fewer prototypes, and reduced costs.
