Multiphysics Analysis of E-Motors with Altair SimLab

When designing an electric motor, constraints from different physics must be fulfilled. Electric motor design requires multi-physics analysis: Altair® SimLab® provides a single user experience for all these different physics.

Inside SimLab, Altair® Flux® can be invoked to run the electromagnetic analysis. Once the electromagnetic analysis is finished, the magnetic force information can be applied as loading conditions for noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) analysis using Altair® OptiStruct®. And the loss distribution (stator/rotor losses, winding loss) can be applied as heat sources for CFD analysis using Altair® AcuSolve®. Finally, Altair® HyperStudy® serves as a multidisciplinary optimization platform for electric motor design.
