Simcenter SPEED software supports engineers in virtually validating design choices via\u00a0detailed analytical simulation, quick and smart usage of 2D finite element magneto-static analysis. It includes all necessary theoretical and physical models for a rapid e-machine design with a flexible approach and a seamless interface with links to even more precise and detailed electric machine analysis and simulation such as multi-physics 2D and 3D Finite Element\/Finite Volume (FE\/FV) magneto-static or magneto-transient, thermal, mechanical or vibro-acoustic.<\/p>\n

<\/span>In order to improve simulation accuracy, Simcenter SPEED provides <\/span>links to several general-purpose 2D and 3D electromagnetic finite element solvers such as Simcenter STAR-CCM+<\/a>\u00a0and Simcenter Motorsolve<\/a> or to Simcenter SPEED dedicated 2D magneto-static program, PC-FEA. These enable modeling and studying of the electric machine more precisely if needed, for example in cases of high saturation, under fault conditions, and non-SPEED template-based geometries.<\/p>\n\n
In general, users can connect Simcenter SPEED with other tools required for the complete electric machine solution using various scripting or programming languages. More specifically, automation makes use of the scripting capabilities as driving Simcenter SPEED on its own or together with other programs such as STAR-CCM+. This automated workflow follows the scripting approach and uses STAR-CCM+ and its multi-physics solvers for electromagnetic, thermal (full 3D conjugate heat transfer) and mechanical stress analysis along with Java scripts to provide and feedback additional information.<\/p>\n
Vibro-acoustic can also be studied combining stator and housing subsystem FE models with a surrounding free space BE model in order to assess electric machine sound quality.
