Ansys Maxwell Capabilities
You can understand the efficiency of electromechanical systems long before building a prototype in hardware by leveraging Ansys Maxwell’s advanced electromagnetic field solvers and seamlessly linking them to integrated circuit and systems simulation technology. Automatically generate nonlinear equivalent circuits and frequency-dependent state-space models from field parameters, which can then be used in system and circuit simulation to achieve the highest possible fidelity on SIL and HIL systems. Ansys simulation technology enables you to predict with confidence that your products will thrive in the rest of the world.
Ansys Maxwell Key Features
Specialized Design Interfaces
Since the design specifications and simulation requirements for electric machines and power converters are so dissimilar, Ansys Maxwell offers separate interfaces for each.
Multiphysics Coupling Workflow
Ansys Workbench connects Ansys Maxwell’s electromagnetic field solvers, making it simple to set up and analyze complex coupled-physics behaviors like deformed mesh feedback structures, stress and strain feedback on magnetic properties, EM fluids, and acoustics.
Advanced Magnetic Modeling
Perform advanced simulation calculations such as core loss calculations, vector hysteresis, four-quadrant simulation for permanent magnets, magnetostriction and magnetoelastic analysis, and loss computation manufacturing effects.
Automatic, Adaptive Meshing
Ansys Maxwell’s automated adaptive meshing techniques, which require only the geometry, material properties, and desired performance to achieve an effective solution, are a key feature. Ansys Maxwell’s meshing method employs a highly reliable volumetric meshing technique as well as multithreading, which decreases memory use and speeds up time to solution. This tried-and-true technology simplifies the process of creating and refining a finite element mesh, making advanced numerical analysis accessible to employees at all levels of your business.
RMxprt
RMxprt produces geometry, motion and mechanical setup, material properties, core loss, winding and source setup for comprehensive finite element analysis in Ansys Maxwell, in addition to providing traditional motor output measurements.
The template-based interface for transformers and inductors in RMxprt can generate a configuration automatically based on voltage waveform or converter inputs. To optimize the magnetic configuration, the autodesign process considers all combinations of core shapes, sizes, materials, gaps, wire types and gauges, and winding strategies.
