New MotorCAD machine topology: Axial flux motors

 

Axial flux available topologies

Ansys MotorCAD supports 3 different axial flux topologies, including (Double Rotor - Single Stator), (Single Rotor- Single Stator) and (Single Rotor- Double Stator)

 

Double Rotor - Single Stator

 

Single Rotor - Single Stator

 

Single Rotor - Double Stator

 

Multiple user views: Radial - Axial - Linear and 3D

Ansys MotorCAD Axial is a powerful new feature that enables engineers to design and optimize Axial flux electric motors with ease. Engineers will have full control and will be capable of viewing the machine at different angles.

Axial view is also possible, for each of the available typologies.

 

Automatic and custom winding patterns

Winding harmonics and factor can also be displayed:

Output data and graphs

Flux density, torque, voltages, inductance and more:

 

Flux density as a function fo the rotor positioon

 

Linear FEA equivalent model:

 

Torque as a function of the rotor position:
