Software ready for designing electric machines (think generators)

By Paul Dvorak | January 13, 2012

Motor efficiency can be determined with greater accuracy in MotorSolve v2.6 due to improved loss predictions.

The latest release of MotorSolve, electric-machine design software, is now available. Engineers from a wide range of industries use Infolytica software to design and analyze applications such as electromechanical devices, non-destructive testing (NDT), induction heating, power electronics, sensors, and industrial transformers.

The software sports new features, including synchronous-reluctance motor templates and improved loss predictions. Stator winding modeling has been enhanced to allow 3D viewing and more accurate end effect calculations.

The software allows accounting for mechanical factors such as friction, windage, and stray losses. Companies looking to design motors without permanent magnets, due to rising costs, can use the new synchronous reluctance templates which have been added to the package.

Other improvements in the latest release:

  • Slot liner modeling
  • Assymetric overhangs
  • Vertical or horizontal layering of windings
  • Magnetic impact of shaft components
  • Improved temperature settings

MotorSolve v2.6 is available for PC’s running Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and 7. Maintained clients can visit support.infolytica.com to download this update.
