Cooling things off with Motor-CAD
CLIFTON PARK, NY – October 30, 2009 - Magsoft Corporation announces the release of Motor-CAD Version 5.3. Co-developed with Motor Design Ltd. of Shropshire, UK, Motor-CAD offers the electric machine designer a unique way to prototype the thermal behavior of their devices. Motor-CAD delivers revolutionary insight into machine cooling when things start to heat up. Motor-CAD V5 has incorporated the following new features to enhance the virtual prototyping experience of the machine designer.- New Geometry Capabilities
- Interior Permanent Magnet rotors [IPM] for the Brushless PM Motor [BPM] machine-type
- Slot-less Stator Winding Layout
- Housed BPM Outer Rotor
- BPM Outer Rotor Axle mounting
- Sensitivity Analysis
- New, more versatile controls for setting up multi-parameter experimental runs
- Linked solving when considering perturbations within a given parameter value
- Improved graphing capabilities when reviewing the final range of solutions
- Fluid Database
- New pull-down access to assign a desired fluid from among the fluids in the database
- Comprehensive interface for entering a fluid into the database
- Full capabilities for entering the variation of fluid properties as a function of temperature
- Electromagnetic-Thermal Co-Simulation
- Automatic import of electromagnetic modeling data from the SPEED software
- Improved SPEED-Motor-CAD co-simulation and equilibrium determination
- Command Line Interface
- Separate interface area for accessing the ActiveX parameter technology
- Write Visual Basic scripting programs to control Motor-CAD
- Duty Cycle Editor
- Renovated Duty Cycle interface to enter the nature of the desired machine inputs
- Import/ Export of Duty Cycle data
