Ansys Motor-CAD

Developed for electric motor designers that need to make decisions quickly, Ansys Motor-CAD is the world’s leading software for Multiphysics simulation across the full torque-speed range. Engineers use it to optimize motor designs for size, performance, and efficiency by exploring various motor topologies and fully assessing the impact of advanced loss effects in the initial stages of a design. The software’s easy-to-use template-based setup streamlines the design process, and the embedded Multiphysics solvers gives motor designers more control and insight over their designs by reducing the need for team members with specific electromagnetic, thermal, or mechanical experience.

Integrated with Motor-CAD are four modules that perform Multiphysics calculations quickly and iteratively, helping manufacturers get from concept to final design in less time.
