MotorSolve BLDC calculates machine performance based on automated finite element analysis: no drawing, no manual mesh refining and no post-processing necessary.

Using the template interface, a desired waveform, quantity or field is selected with the operating conditions specified.

Characteristic curves comparing multiple designs and/or operating points makes what-if analysis easy.

Results: maximum flexibility and control over the waveforms and analysis

Analysis Types

D-Q analysis

• Ideal for what-if analysis: initial sizing or design variations
• Rapid: based on a single FEA simulation to characterize the performance
• The component values from the equivalent circuit of the D-Q approximation can also be obtained using the lumped parameter analysis

PWM analysis

• Perform a dynamic simulation of the electronic commutation in a three-phase full-bridge
• Squarewave or Sinewave
• Important at high speeds: current waveforms differ significantly from the ideal

Transient analysis

• Perform a full time-stepping non-linear FEA simulation
• Wye or Delta
• Sinusoidal or six-step drive
• Highly accurate for all types of operating conditions and ideal for final design verification
