e-Motor Concept Optimization Coupling with Altair FluxMotor and Altair HyperStudy

Altair FluxMotor is a straightforward platform dedicated to the pre-design of electric rotating machines. It enables the designer to build a machine from standard or customized parts, add windings and materials to quickly run a selection of tests and easily compare the machine performance. In addition, they can predict the machine performance at one or more working points, and also for complete duty cycles. By coupling FluxMotor to Altair HyperStudy design exploration and optimization solution, Altair offers designers a unique process to optimize their motor concept at an early design stage. They can select and focus on the topologies that fulfill the main specifications before going further in their EM design with Altair Flux and perform Multiphysics analysis.

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.

Designers starting with a blank page face an unlimited number of configurations and need to quickly select machines types. By coupling Altair FluxMotor to Altair HyperStudy design exploration and optimization solution, Altair offers designers a unique process to optimize their motor concept at an early design stage, defining their constraints and their objectives. A typical objective is to reach maximum global efficiency across a given duty cycle. Then, designers can select and focus on the topologies that fulfill the main specifications before going further in their design.
