eMotor Director - A paradigm shift for the multi-physics design of e-motors

This webinar focuses on the design of electric motors and will show how multiphysics simulation and optimization allow to innovate and reduce costs, while considering multiple design constraints. Spin Applicazioni Magnetiche, a company creating innovative solutions of rare earth free synchronous reluctance motors for various power levels and applications will present a practical use case, including a detailed comparison between simulation and test results, considering electromagnetic, thermal and vibration responses.

The path towards electrification requires significant investment, changes to technologies, development processes and even organizational structures. This introductory webinar will reveal Altair's simulation- and data-driven design tools to accelerate all electrification projects by helping to make good decisions early. The session will cover solutions for the design of the various parts of electric drive systems, from the battery to the wheels; while considering system integration and the architecture changes that must be made at vehicle level to build innovative energy efficient electric mobility solutions.

Lars Fredriksson introduces Altair development support strategies for e-mobility and provides examples to showcase how these strategies help companies develop e-powertrain systems with an increased level of innovation in reduced time.

Altair has collaborated with Startup India, Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Confederation of Indian Industry - CII, and IIT Madras Incubation Cell for Altair Start-up Challenge 2021 - For EVs. This is an initiative to create awareness of appropriate cutting-edge technologies, relevant processes, enable the start-ups to accomplish their goals of product development in a structured manner. This facilitates competency building and the development of competitive products.

Traction Motor play key role in the electric vehicle/hybrid electric vehicle (EV/HEV) development process. The design of a High-Performance e-Motor is a complex undertaking. Engineers have conflicting constraints to consider including efficiency, temperature, weight, size, and cost. To explore more ideas, better understand their designs and improve performance, Altair HyperWorks™ has a workflow to guide motor designers through an efficient process of Simulation-Driven Design. This analysis and optimization solution supports multi-disciplinary teamwork and reduces design times.

At Elaphe, the engineers have been facing the NVH challenges from the very beginning. The topology of this electric motor, which on the one hand enables the team to use the otherwise empty space inside the wheel, can on the other hand, result in some new and unexplored NVH challenges. The experience over the years has proven that NVH is a bottleneck in the design cycle of Elaphe's motors and this was the main motivation for a more automated and more user-friendly NVH simulation workflow. Within the NVH, noise radiation was the area Elaphe was most interested in.

Light-weight, low cost, compact, high efficiency are some of the many objectives and constraints that have to be considered when designing a rotating machine. To meet these various challenges it is necessary to take into account several physical aspects: - electromagnetic - structural - thermal This presentation shows how Altair HyperStudy can involve several Altair solvers to consider different requirements into a single optimization and will be illustrated through various examples.

Because of always more compact and high efficiency systems, temperature is a critical constraint in electric machine design. Depending on the design stage, different levels of modeling can be proposed: - 1D for fast pre-design, to - full 3D CFD models for the validation stage. This presentation shows, through a complete example how the Altair platform for innovation helps machine designers to manage temperature distribution and evolution.

In the early stage of the design of an electric machine, it is key to assess its potential in terms of global energy efficiency when submitted to specific duty cycles. This presentation will show how: - FluxMotor is able to extract efficiency maps in a very fast way. - FluxMotor can be coupled to Altair HyperStudy for design exploration and optimization studies, considering the efficiency over duty cycles as an objective function to be maximized.

Altair Flux is a leading finite element simulation software for electromagnetic modeling. Used for more than 35 years in industry worldwide, and based on the most advanced numerical techniques, Flux has become a reference for the high accuracy it delivers. Altair also recently introduced Altair FluxMotor, a new tool for the pre-design of electric machines. In a very intuitive interface, it allows defining a machine from templates, creating its winding, and characterizing its performance in a few clicks. In this webinar, discover all the new features in the latest versions of Flux and FluxMotor.

The electric motor design process can be long and tedious. Modern design tools enables designers to quickly evaluate and compare machine techinical-economic potential. Discover how FluxMotor can radically change the way machines are designed, through each stage and be able to use standard or customized parts, add windings easily and quickly attribute materials before computing its performance.

In this webinar we discuss and illustrate how electromagnetic simulating technology enables a flexible new alternative solution for electromagnetic transmission, with electromagnetic couplings replacing mechanical and differential couplers.

The electric mobility revolution is ready to go mainstream. OEMs, suppliers, and emerging vehicle manufacturers are investing billions to develop innovative electric vehicles and optimize development and production processes to deliver e-mobility to the masses. In these presentations, learn how Altair works with the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers to accelerate product development, enhance energy efficiency, and optimize integrated system performance.

This webinar provides an overview of a typical CAE based approach for SnR detection and prevention and demonstrates how this is achieved through a Risk and Root Cause analysis in Altair Squeak and Rattle Director. We will also discuss how to increase the complexity and fidelity of the model with the progression of development, and the importance of exploring multiple loading scenarios. Throughout the entire process, structural optimization is there as a helpful tool to find solutions to the problems we encounter on the way or even prevent them from the start.

If you are a designer, Squeak and Rattle test engineer or a maybe just a beginner to the SnR Analysis world, this presentation is for you. We will showcase how you can benefit from simulation as early as the concept design phase by performing a CAD based modal analysis combined with a material compatibility analysis, and perform a Screening Risk Assessment which provides upfront results using a streamlined and easy-to-use workflow in Squeak and Rattle Director.
