Global system performance prediction – from the design of the device to its final operational efficiency – using the most efficient design tools and methods, is key for organizations to innovate.

FluxMotor is a flexible standalone software tool focusing on the pre-design of electric rotating machines.

It enables the user to design and create motors from standard or customized parts, as well as to intuitively add windings and materials to run a selection of tests and compare machine behavior.

Addressing a broad range of users, FluxMotor is easy to use with an efficient working environment allowing for the creation and performance evaluation of an electric motor within a few minutes.

Benefits:High productivity gainAutomatically driven workflow offering an efficient user-oriented environment to different level of usersFacilitated project management, allow a quick access to past studies and to manage the full range of productsCreating a model of an electric motor and evaluating its technical-economic potential within a few minutesNo compromise on accuracyBased on optimization technology, FluxMotor helps reduce computing time to the minimum, while maintaining accurate resultsComputing methods wisely using the high power of finite element modelingSettings adapted to the task levels of accuracy vs. rapidityConnection for advanced studiesEasy project export to Flux to perform advanced studies like eccentricity, vibro-acoustic, etc.

At any time, the full parameterized Flux project, with all the physical properties embedded, is ready to be solved in Flux environmentCapabilities:Effective machines parts managementLibraries are provided with standard partsA wide variety of slots or magnets are availableAll the topologies are parameterizedOffered standard parts, slots or magnets, can be edited and customized for unlimited configurationProductive interfaces to shape the machineStep by step, from the shaft, rotor magnet to the slot, winding and housing of the stator, a dedicated interface guides users to finalize machine design4 different winding modes (from automatic to expert) help users to find the right winding architectureComprehensive and scalable material databaseTesting and evaluating electric motorsThe FluxMotor dedicated test environment enables users to assess motor performanceExample of tests ready to be performedMaps vs (Id, Iq): Flux, inductance, torque, iron losses, etc.
