Reduce e-Motor Multiphysics Optimization Cycle from Weeks to Hours

Engineering adoption of AI is transforming product development yet again. AI-driven design, augmented simulation, and predictive analytics are all contributing to increase collaboration, speed up design convergence, and achieve greater product innovation. The latest release of Altair® HyperWorks® includes features like shapeAI, which quickly finds and classifies parts "by shape" inside geometry files or finite element meshes by applying machine learning.

Altair Flux offers a direct model export compatible with major system simulation software for straightforward system integration. Two different formats are available: FMU (Functional Mockup Units) dynamic models format is straightforward, standardized and very efficient, while lookup tables are an interesting alternative, offering the opportunity to adjust the dimensions of the table according to the required precision. Latest improvement enable impressive speed-up with Altair Activate™.

Newly introduced in Altair Flux, the hysteresis modeling based on Preisach's model enables a better evaluation of iron losses and remanence effects. Flux captures the complexity of electromechanical equipment to optimize their performance, efficiency, dimensions, cost or weight with precision, bringing better innovation and value products to end users. Flux simulates magneto static, steady-state and transient conditions, along with electrical and thermal properties.

Demagnetization simulation: considering the magnet demagnetization phenomena during the solving process simulation enables very accurate predict the device performance, and measure the impact on EMF and torque for instance. Flux captures the complexity of electromechanical equipment to optimize their performance, efficiency, dimensions, cost or weight with precision, bringing better innovation and value products to end users. Flux simulates magneto static, steady-state and transient conditions, along with electrical and thermal properties.

Designing an e-Motor has never been a simple task. Altair Flux, the solution for accurate electromagnetic detailed design, not only enables to quickly generate 2D and 3D motor models with its Overlays. Its new module now produces efficiency maps and automatic reports in the same appreciated FluxMotor supportive environment. Flux captures the complexity of electric motors and electromechanical equipment to optimize their performance, efficiency, dimensions, cost or weight with precision, bringing better innovation and value products to end users. Flux simulates magneto static, steady-state and transient conditions, along with electrical and thermal properties.

Once a designers has defined its motor concept in Altair FluxMotor and evaluated its global performance, he can perform more detailed analysis, exporting his machine in Altair Flux and working with high-fidelity models. Significantly, Flux enables more accurate prediction of motor behavior, with advanced losses computation, considering eccentricities, magnet demagnetization, effects of manufacturing process, and couple to Altair HyperWorks for multiphysics analysis.

This video helps you to get started using Altair Flux™ quickly. Flux Supervisor is the central part for accessing Flux. You can adjust basic settings of the software, such as the working directory and memory settings, launch new or existing projects, open example cases, directly access the documentation or run batch files.
