Electric propulsion & power electronics: how Ansys helps

Electrified platforms rise or fall on power density, and power density is a coupled electromagnetic-thermal problem. Simulation lets you push machines and drives hard while keeping them inside their limits.

Electric propulsion & power electronics simulation visualization

Illustrative simulation render. Actual studies are built to your geometry and requirements.

The Ansys tools that model it

Maxwell — Low-frequency electromagnetic design of motors, generators, actuators, and magnetics.
Motor-CAD — Rapid multiphysics design and efficiency mapping of electric machines across the drive cycle.
Icepak — Keeps the power electronics and windings within thermal limits at high power density.
