Altair FluxMotor

Electric Rotating Motor Design

• Efficient working environment
• Create a model of an electric motor  and evaluate it within a few minutes
• The technical-economic potential of an electric motor pre-design can be quickly understood, offering a high gain of productivity when modeling electric  rotating machines

• Technicians, engineers or researchers
• From designers and manufacturers to integrators, maintenance and training staff.

• Whatever the level of use: beginner, intermediate or expert
• Whatever the task: from selection or pre-design of motors to evaluation of performance

• Based on optimization technology, FluxMotor helps reduce computing time to the minimum
• The computations are based on 35 years of Flux experience, insuring accurate results
• Settings adapted to the task – levels of accuracy vs. speed

• Easy Flux project export to perform advanced studies like eccentricity,  vibro-accoustic, etc.
• At any time, the full parameterized Flux project, with all the physical properties embedded, is ready to be solved in the  Flux environment

 

• The FluxMotor dedicated design environment helps motor specialists to define machines within minutes
• Never start from a blank page! Altair FluxMotor will always propose an existing motor configuration
• Then, step by step, from the shaft, rotor magnet to the slot, winding and housing  of the stator, a dedicated interface will help users to finalize machine design

• Offering 4 different winding modes (automatic, easy, advanced, and expert levels), the winding area is designed to help users find the right winding architecture
• Settings are well adapted to the task
• An automatic diagnostic is issued to evaluate the quality criteria of the winding. This helps users find the right winding parameters

• A large selection of typical materials is provided: lamination, magnet, electric conductor, electric insulator, etc.
• Users can manage their own materials
• Easy way to define B(H) curve or iron losses parameters

• In the PartManager area, libraries are provided with standard parts
• A large number of slots or magnets  are available
• All the topologies are parameterized

• Offered standard parts, slots or magnets, can be edited and customized for unlimited configuration
• Parts can be designed from a sketcher

• Enhance project management
• Access past studies quickly
• Manage full range of products
• Quick performance comparison

• FluxMotor’s dedicated test environment enables users to assess motor performance
• Standard and relevant test portfolio available
• Predefined tests ready to be performed
• Relevant input parameters allow users to control the test conditions
• Processes based on optimization technology
• Results are automatically illustrated

• Open circuit tests with cogging torque  and back-emf
• Maps vs (Id, Iq): Flux, inductance, torque, iron losses, etc.
• Data sheet present comprehensive synthesis of machine performance
• Working point computations with sine wave or square wave drive
• Performance mapping with efficiency maps

• Description of all the achieved work for design and tests
• Export files for easy machine performance comparisons, in html or pdf format
