Electrical Machine Design
Electrical machine design encompasses the engineering of machines that manage electrical energy efficiently. It requires expertise in electromagnetism, materials science, and thermodynamics, supported by advanced simulation techniques. Our technology enables comprehensive modelling of electric machines, integrating thermal and electromagnetic aspects while facilitating performance optimization for enhanced efficiency.
Our approach accelerates design iteration through rapid prototyping and ensures accurate simulation of electromagnetic fields using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Additionally, the platform supports design validation against performance criteria and features a user-friendly interface for improved navigation and productivity
Electromagnetic simulation
Electromagnetic simulations use a single frequency to shorten the simulation time. This method analyses electromagnetic fields around current-carrying wires and considers isotropic materials that can conduct electricity or have magnetic properties. It also considers factors like displacement currents, eddy currents, and proximity effects, which are important for hotspot studies.

Thermal Analysis
Thermal analysis is crucial in evaluating how components respond to heat during operation. It allows engineers to assess performance at temperatures and understand how temperature rises affect functionality over a duty cycle. By simulating various cooling strategies, designers can identify effective solutions to prevent overheating and ensure components remain within safe temperature limits, enhancing overall reliability.
Conducting Virtual Experiments
Predefined virtual experiments enable the evaluation of electric machine performance through simulation. These experiments produce tables, charts, and shade plots that include all critical performance data. Analysing different operating points provides a thorough insight into the machine's capabilities.
