Product Overview

Engineers use Maxwell® to design motors, actuators, transformers, MRI coils, sensors, and other electromagnetic and electromechanical devices. With its industry leading technology-including Transient with motion, AC Electromagnetic, Magnetostatic, and Electric Field (Transient, Electrostatic/Current flow)-Maxwell provides powerful field visualization and accurately solves for field parameters, such as force, torque, capacitance, inductance, resistance, and impedance.

The ability to dynamically link Maxwell to Simplorer using reduced order models or alternatively to perform co-simulation between the Maxwell transient solver and Simplorer provides engineers with powerful, electromagnetic-based simulation environment. Engineers can incorporate the design of an electromechanical component with the power electronics to achieve an optimal performing system. This approach allows engineers to utilize simulation techniques to create virtual models of critical components including electrical machines, IGBT's, controls, and characterize (L, R, C) of cables and bus bars that connect these components. By integrating high fidelity electromagnetic and electromechanical physics-based models into a system-level simulation, engineers can easily optimize drive performance as well as control harmonics and mitigate conducted and radiated EMI/EMC.
