MotorSolve v4 Available

By DE Editors

The latest release of Infolytica’s  MotorSolve (v4) software includes a new SRM analysis module and enhancements to the recently added thermal analysis module.

MotorSolve now includes a fully automated finite element analysis (FEA)  module for switched-reluctance machines. According to the company,  users can select between an extremely rapid static FEA solve (ideal for early in the design process) or a full time-stepping non-linear FEA simulation (ideal for final design verification), depending on the level of accuracy they require.

MotorSolve SRM outputs standard performance charts and field plots. Design parameters, performance data and summary comparisons can be recorded in an experimental log or report. Results are also accessible either with the use of the clipboard or export functionality.

Building on the recently added MotorSolve thermal module, new cooling types and other enhancements have been added to the package. Another feature is the ability to display temperature fields as a shaded plot. This can be shown on radial or axial slices.

Users can also import custom rotor geometry via a DXF file, and export to Simulink.
