Ansys Motor-CAD
Ansys Motor-CAD
Ansys Motor-CAD is a dedicated electric machine design tool for fast multiphysics simulation across the full torque-speed operating range. Motor-CAD enables design engineers to evaluate motor topologies and concepts across the full operating range, to produce designs that are optimized for performance, efficiency and size. Motor-CAD software’s four integrated modules—EMag, Therm, Lab, Mech—enable multiphysics calculations to be performed quickly and iteratively, so users can get from concept to final design in less time. Fast calculations and streamlined data input processes leave time for Motor-CAD users to explore more motor topologies and fully assess the impact of advanced loss effects in the initial stages of an electromechanical design. The release includes powerful new features for design optimization, multi-physics analysis and system modelling for electric motors. Fast multiphysics simulation across a full torque-speed operating range.

    "Alibre Design expert review by a 12 years experienced user"

    Posted 2021-05-07

    Pros: Easy to learn.
    Basic modeling is okay. Surface modeling is included but not worthy to touch.
    Basic assemblies is okay. Complex modeling (More than 300 parts) will slow down your system and crashes are to expect.

    Cons: Support denies bugs and will first blame the user.
    1.400 Euro instead of the "one time price of 169 USD" stated on this website.
    Outdated Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and for that reason not according the ISO standard.
    Hidden bugs. For example (may 2021) when assigning materials ones from your own library and then again from the Alibre library, your whole part naming in your assembly will be corrupt. And yes, support denies and is not helping here.

    Overall: It's okay for basic design work with for small or midsize design/engineering work. Make sure you have your backup system up to date and always running.
