ANSYS Maxwell-1

ANSYS Maxwell ANSYS simulation technology enables you to predict with confidence that your products will thrive in the real world. Customers trust our software to help ensure the integrity of their products and drive business success through innovation. Industry Leading Low Frequency Electromagnetic Field Simulation Trusted simulation of low-frequency electromagnetic fields in industrial components that includes 3-D/2-D magnetic transient, AC electromagnetic, magnetostatic, electrostatic, DC conduction and electric transient solvers to accurately solve for field parameters including force, torque, capacitance, inductance, resistance and impedance. High Performance Design Delivery Customizable modeling capabilities, automatic adaptive meshing and advanced high-performance computing technology allows designers to solve complete high-performance electromechanical power systems. High Fidelity, Model-Based Design Automatically generate nonlinear equivalent circuits and frequency-dependent state-space models from field parameters that may be further used in system and circuit simulation to achieve the highest possible fidelity on SIL (software-in-the-loop) and HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) systems. Using Maxwell along with ANSYS Fluent® CFD software, Indar Electric developed a generator with a high efficiency rating in less than half the time that would have been required using conventional buildand-test methods. Correlated Magnetics Research investigated precise and rapid magnetization of materials a small volume at a time to produce higher torque-transfer performance from smaller, lighter magnets. Engineers at WEG Equipamentos Elétricos S.A., Brazil, used Maxwell in a multiphysics simulation to optimize the trade-off between fan losses and electromagnetic performance in its new line of electric motors.
