Electric Motor Design in Record Time

OPERA with MACHINE DESIGNER

Opera and its new Machine Designer tool do electric motor design & validation in minutes.

MACHINE DESIGN & SIMULATION MADE SIMPLE:

1. BUILD your model from parametric templates of industry-standard machine types.
2. ASSIGN advanced material models including even demagnetization of permanent magnets.
3. VALIDATE with a coupled structural-thermal-electromagnetic analysis of the whole complex system.

ONE model, ONE UI, COMPLETE multiphysics.

BENEFITS

OUTCOMPETE rivals with superior product performance.
REDUCE manufacturing costs with better-optimized designs.
REDUCE dev costs by prototyping only well-validated designs.
SPEED UP time-to-market with unified design+simulation processes.
SUPPORTED by CATI’s emag FEA & motor design experts.

CAPABILITIES

Build model geometry of many machine types from flexible templates
Simulate real-world operating AND fault conditions
Simulate power supply and mechanical load
Co-simulate with Simulink and import from Speed
Multiphysics includes:
- Deformation, stress, and strain due to electromagnetic forces
- Steady-state and transient heat due to iron loss, winding and eddy currents
Standard results include:
- Torque/speed profiles
- Dynamic start-up
- Cogging torque
- Losses — copper, eddy current, hysteresis
- Demagnetization under short circuit
