Key Feature 2 – More Accurate & Flexible AFM Design
in Ansys Motor-CAD
Modeling & Geometry
• Single & dual topologies with winding-connection setup
• Rotor skew, PM segmentation, slice/section visualization
• Adaptive rotor templates with Python-based geometry customization
Benefit:
Advanced modeling & geometry options provide greater
freedom to explore innovative axial-flux motor topologies.
Electromagnetic, Thermal, & Structural Analysis
• Thermal Module support with desirable cooling topologies
• Demagnetization analysis
• NVH force computation with export to Ansys Mechanical
• AC-loss hybrid method
Benefit:
Built-in EM, structural, AC-loss & NVH workflows help users
capture real-world behavior more reliably.
Workflow & Resources
• AFM Maxwell Lab Link (Beta)
• White paper: Accelerating the Design, Modeling, and Simulation of
High-Performance Axial Flux Motors
