Ansys MotorCAD Enterprise
Ansys Motor-CAD - Enterprise Electric Machine Design Software
Ansys Motor-CAD is dedicated electric machine design software for fast multiphysics simulation across the full torque-speed operating range. Template-based set-up lets engineers evaluate motor topologies and concepts quickly and produce designs optimised for performance, efficiency and size.
Its four integrated modules, EM, Therm, Lab and Mech, perform electromagnetic, thermal, performance-mapping and mechanical calculations iteratively, so a design moves from concept to final layout in less time.
Ansys Motor-CAD 2026 R1
- Axial flux machines: Thermal module support (beta) with water-jacket, shaft-groove and convection cooling.
- Induction machine efficiency: a unified performance map with automated Maxwell-Motor-CAD integration.
- Multi-Static with Losses: faster magnetic and loss predictions, sped up further by automatic symmetry detection.

Ansys Motor-CAD Enterprise
Motor-CAD with its EM, Therm, Lab and Mech modules for electromagnetic, thermal, efficiency-map and mechanical analysis.
Motor-CAD licences are also offered by machine type, including Motor-CAD PM, IM and SYNC.
Electromagnetic and Thermal Design from Templates
Parametrised templates cover magnetic and cooling topologies. Electromagnetics combine 2D FEA with analytical solutions, and a 3D thermal-fluid network uses CFD, FEA and empirical correlations for steady-state and transient temperatures.
Efficiency Maps and Duty-Cycle Performance
Efficiency and loss maps are calculated across the operating range, including temperature-dependent duty cycles, field weakening and demagnetisation checks.
Motor-CAD and Maxwell Workflow
Designs export to Ansys Maxwell for 2D or 3D field analysis, circuit coupling and efficiency map generation.
Common Electric Machine Design Consultation Topics
- Motor sizing: topology selection and sizing against a duty cycle.
- Cooling design: housing, water jacket and spray cooling.
- Efficiency maps: losses and efficiency across the torque-speed range.
- Thermal duty cycles: temperatures over drive cycles.
