The development of Motor-CAD has been driven by user feedback. There are
many new features that will be of interest to existing and new users of Motor-CAD.
A range of the new features added include:
Insulation lifetime model for lifetime calculation with complex duty
cycle operation.
Cuboidal element winding model providing detailed winding
temperature analysis.
Internal script option for running during steady state and transient
calculations to allow parameters to be changed dynamically. This
is useful for modelling heat exchangers in cooling system.
New BPM-EMag module provides complete electromagnetic and
thermal model for BPM machines.
Improved transient solving with new DAE solver delivering faster
transient solving.
User options for splitting rotor cage losses between bars and
endrings, stray load losses between stator and rotor and stator
copper losses between active and endwinding sections.
Improved cooling options - coupling different cooling systems in
series and in parallel. New through ventilation, spray cooling, slot
water jacket , blown over, open endcap and shaft cooling options.
3D geometry export in STL format to allow geometry to be used in
other 3D packages.
