Motor-CAD

Motor-CAD is a unique software package for exploring the thermal design of electric motors and generators. Motor-CAD has incorporated revolutionary lumped-parameter technology to simulate either the Steady State or the Transient thermal response of a machine.

Simulations require the 3D geometry description of each component within the machine, the physical material properties of the components, the losses or sources or heat and any desired cooling configurations. All of these items can be easily entered in the Motor-CAD interface via the various tab delineations and the associated text fields. During a given simulation, Motor-CAD considers each component a separate entity, scrutinizes the thermal nature of the component [including heat transfer coefficients] and generates a lumped-parameter equivalent circuit. Once each component is carefully evaluated, the machine is reconstructed by combining each component's circuit into a full electrical system. The thermal nature of the machine is then uncovered by solving the electrical system.
