Electric machine development increasingly extends beyond initial machine sizing and performance prediction. Engineers need to rapidly evaluate design alternatives, prepare data for vibration and acoustic studies, transfer machine definitions into detailed electromagnetic and thermal simulations, and connect machine behavior with inverter and control development workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simcenter E-Machine Design<\/a> 2606 introduces new capabilities that help accelerate machine design activities while expanding model reuse across the broader simulation ecosystem. The release extends support for downstream simulation workflows, including the export of motor designs with hairpin windings, while also introducing enhancements for machine evaluation and vibration synthesis studies. Together, these capabilities help engineers move more efficiently from machine design to downstream engineering analyses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extend hairpin winding designs into downstream simulation workflows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hairpin windings are increasingly adopted in high-performance electric machines due to their improved slot fill factor, manufacturability and power density. However, transferring hairpin winding definitions into downstream simulation environments often requires significant manual effort and reconstruction of winding geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motor designs containing hairpin windings can now be exported with detailed 3D winding representations, including end-winding definitions. These machine models can be reused in downstream electromagnetic and thermal simulation workflows, helping engineers preserve design intent while avoiding the effort of rebuilding detailed winding geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
