Ansys Maxwell: Low Frequency EM Field Simulation

Ansys Maxwell offers a significant advantage through its automatic adaptive meshing techniques. With Maxwell, you only need to specify the geometry, material properties, and desired output to achieve precise results. Utilizing a robust volumetric meshing technique and multithreading capability, Maxwell’s meshing process reduces memory usage and speeds up the solution time. This technology simplifies the process of building and refining finite element meshes, making advanced numerical analysis accessible for all levels of your organization.

Seamlessly integrate Ansys Maxwell’s electromagnetic field solvers into Ansys Workbench to analyze complex coupled-physics behaviors, including deformed mesh feedback structures, stress and strain feedback on magnetic properties, EM fluids, and acoustics.

Conduct advanced simulation calculations such as core loss calculations, vector hysteresis, four-quadrant simulation for permanent magnets, magnetostriction and magnetoelastic analysis, Litz Wire Loss, and manufacturing effects on loss computation.

Benefit from Ansys Maxwell’s specialized interfaces tailored for electric machines and power converters, providing intuitive design criteria and simulation tools for each application.

Automate classical motor performance calculations and generate detailed finite element analysis setups with RMxprt, which automatically generates geometry, motion, mechanical setup, material properties, core loss, winding, and source setup.

A multi-domain power electronics simulator for electrical, magnetic, mechanical, fluid, and thermal systems that seamlessly integrates three fundamental component libraries: circuits, block diagrams, and state machines. Simplorer provides an integrated analysis thanks to its connection with EM (Maxwell, PExprt, RMxprt, Q3D, HFSS) and thermal tools (Ansys CFD, Ansys Icepak).

Simplorer offers comprehensive analysis capabilities, including high-fidelity power semiconductor model characterization for thermal and EMI/EMC simulations. In addition, Simplorer’s model libraries include VHDL-AMS capability and existing controls systems and customer developed models.

Power Electronics Expert (PExprt) is a magnetic design and optimization tool for ferrite transformers and inductors including, multi-winding transformers, coupled inductors, and flyback components. PExprt’s template-based interface for transformers and inductors can automatically create a design from voltage waveform or converter inputs. The auto-design process considers all combinations of core shapes, sizes, materials, gaps, wire types and gauges, and winding strategies to optimize the magnetic design.

It contains manufacturer libraries for common components. It also combines FEA-based solutions to include skin and proximity effects, and gap effects due to magnetic fringing. Additionally, it calculates winding losses, core Losses, R, L, C parameters and temperature rise, and couples to Simplorer using a frequency dependent netlist for the simulated component.
