Making Better Motor (Design) Decisions Earlier

Speeding up multiphysics design workflow using Ansys Motor-CAD

This is the first webinar in our 2-part series, focused on making better motor decisions earlier. When timelines are tight and requirements keep expanding, late discoveries - thermal limits, demagnetization margins, or NVH concerns - can quickly lead to redesign and extra prototypes.

In this 30-minute session, Application Engineer Shashank Shanbhag will demonstrate how engineers accelerate RFQ-level decision-making and evaluate multiphysics trade-offs early, including electromagnetic performance and thermal behavior, to reduce risk and move forward with confidence - using Ansys Motor‑CAD.

Which areas will be covered?

How to answer RFQ-level questions fast with defensible performance insight
How to evaluate cooling effectiveness vs. cost and package size early
How to uncover risks sooner: overheating/hotspots, demagnetization, NVH-related issues

You’ll see Motor‑CAD’s Multiphysics workflow in action, including:

Electromagnetic performance prediction (torque/speed, losses)
Thermal modeling with a 3D lumped-parameter network
Rotor stress evaluation (FEA-based)
Efficiency mapping and analysis across duty/drive cycles

Key takeaways

You’ll leave with a clearer approach for handling common day-to-day pressures like:

RFQ & time-to-decision pressure
Getting credible torque/speed results, loss mapping, and efficiency insights quickly.
Avoiding costly prototyping loops
Reducing trial-and-error iterations and minimizing late-stage changes that drive rework.
Reducing thermal uncertainty early
Predicting temperature distribution in critical parts (windings, magnets, laminations) to identify hotspots sooner.
De-risking performance and durability
Anticipating demagnetization and NVH-related issues earlier in the design cycle - before hardware is built.
Making Multiphysics trade-offs with confidence
Using a combined electromagnetic + thermal toolbox to evaluate behavior across operating range and duty/drive cycles - not just a single point.
