Cooling Things Down with Motor-CAD
Share:
BALLSTON SPA, N.Y., July 17 /-- Magsoft Corporation announced today that Motor-CAD Version 4 is available for distribution. This new release, co-developed with Motor Design Ltd. of Shropshire, UK, offers new simulation, post-processing, and analysis technologies. Magsoft's simulation tool delivers revolutionary insight into machine cooling when things start to heat up.
Motor-CAD V4 now boasts customized template editors for the following machine types:
o Brushless permanent magnet motors
o Brushless permanent magnet motors with an outside rotor
o Brush permanent magnet motors
o Single & Three-phase Induction motors
o Switched reluctance motors
o Synchronous generators
o Claw pole generators
Many new improvements have been made to this release of Motor-CAD; the product now contains the following pre-processing innovations:
o Additional options for rotor and stator type definitions
o Template Editor controls for zooming, panning and measuring component
features
o Improved import/ export features for the definition of Duty Cycle
Behaviors
The thermal solution review process has been updated in Motor-CAD and now contains the following:
o Window for viewing the comprehensive equivalent circuit created for a
given machine
o Ability to modify this circuit and to add nodes and components
o The display of Temperature Data directly onto the various machine
components
o Improved transient graph controls including new cursor review features
o Export of all solution data directly to text or spreadsheet formats
Additionally, Motor-CAD now leverages its ActiveX foundation. This enables the user to do a full range of sensitivity analysis or design experiments for key machine parameters and features. Simply identify a set of machine features; provide a range of alternative values and let Motor-CAD do the work to establish either the most sensitive feature or the optimal cooling configuration.
According to Tan Pham, Technical Director of Magsoft, "Motor-CAD allows a machine designer to take a multi-physics approach towards machine design. These new capabilities within Motor-CAD are going to facilitate creative ideas and innovations for machine performance. Designers across the globe will be pushing the envelope far beyond any present understanding or bounds."
