Simcenter E-Machine Design 2512: Release highlights 

Simcenter E-Machine Design 2512: Release highlights 

January 12, 2026
The latest release of Simcenter E-Machine Design 2512 brings a suite of powerful enhancements designed to tackle real-world engineering challenges in electric machine design and simulation. Here’s what’s new and why it matters for your workflow.  1. Accurate hairpin winding losses  Why it matters: As electric machines evolve, hairpin windings—especially those with larger solid conductors—face significant AC losses at higher frequencies. These losses, driven by skin...
