©2026. Proprietary. Do Not Share. 7 Additional Features & Capabilities Expanded Permanent Magnet DC Machine Capability in Motor-CAD Benefits: • Extends configurations by increasing the number of lap- winding parallel paths. • Support high-pole-count PMDC • Ensures proper EM behavior with correct pole-to-brush matching. Consolidated Installation Experience for AEDT & Motor-CAD Benefits: • Simpler installation with unified installer for both tools. • Cleaner, more organized environment via centralized directory. • Faster workflow startup due to easier version election & a single Start Menu entry. Automation: PyMotorCAD as Consolidated Technology Benefits: • More secure automation – ActiveX removed to avoid legacy vulnerabilities. • Modern, reliable automation workflow through JSON- RPC API. • Greater flexibility for scripting, integration & batch processes. Faster Analysis with Improved Multi-Static with Losses in Motor-CAD Benefits: • Faster solution with accurate magnetic & loss results. • Less manual setup & reduced simulation time with automatic symmetry detection. • Better alignment with full transient solutions – higher confidence in early-stage evaluations. Easier Modeling & Calibration of Losses in Motor-CAD Benefits: • More accurate Litz wire loss estimates with new twist-factor modeling. • Better machine efficiency prediction through improved loss inputs (bearing, sleeve, banding) • Faster workflow − sleeve & banding losses now selectable in field-plot dropdowns Thermal Analysis Enhancements in Motor-CAD Benefits: • Flexible & realistic thermal models using adaptive templates (ducts, channels & cooling geometries). • Higher control over simulation criteria, enabling flexible end-time settings. • Improved system-level workflows with Thermal ROM export for Ansys ConceptEV.
