Flux is a general purpose CAE software which only requires that one clearly describe their idea. This is done by defining the individual components which make up the idea in each of the following areas:
- Physical shape, or geometry
- Relative location and orientation
- Mesh or discretization
- Material character
- Excitation or energy source for the idea
Flux is a pioneer in the development of FEM formulations. Please consider reviewing the following areas where Flux has revolutionized the way that you can get the answers at your fingertips:
Flux is used on a variety of devices and applications, and the available technology allows companies in a broad range of markets and industries to succeed. Finally, in order to provide you with the best simulation results in the shortest amount of computation time, Flux development continues to uncover formulations for both 2D specific and 3D specific activities independently. Its 2D specific activities are available to you in our product called Flux2D, and the 3D specific activities are available to you in the product called Flux3D.
Motor-CAD is a unique software package for exploring the thermal design of electric motors and generators. Motor-CAD has incorporated revolutionary lumped-parameter technology to simulate either the Steady State or the Transient thermal response of a machine.
Simulations require the 3D geometry description of each component within the machine, the physical material properties of the components, the losses or sources or heat and any desired cooling configurations. All of these items can be easily entered in the Motor-CAD interface via the various tab delineations and the associated text fields. During a given simulation, Motor-CAD considers each component a separate entity, scrutinizes the thermal nature of the component [including heat transfer coefficients] and generates a lumped-parameter equivalent circuit. Once each component is carefully evaluated, the machine is reconstructed by combining each component's circuit into a full electrical system. The thermal nature of the machine is then uncovered by solving the electrical system.
Motor-CAD has been fine-tuned for the specific needs of a variety of machine-types, and solutions are currently available for the following types of machines.
Motor-CAD enables you to quickly evaluate the thermal sensitivies within a particular machine, and to identify the manner in which the machine responds to a variety of cooling configurations. Motor-CAD currently supports many cooling options .
Additionally, Motor-CAD is fully ActiveX® Controls compatible. This enables one to operate Motor-CAD remotely, from a product like Microsoft® Excel, via Macros. You can control any of the available input parameters and then evaluate the response of the machine by reviewing the available output parameters. All of this can be neatly compiled in an Excel file in graphic or tabular form and numerous design alternatives can be quickly reviewed to determine the optimum design.
Motor-CAD technology is regularly validated through a variety of independent university and commercial studies. These studies incorporate either repeatable physical prototype measurements or rigorous CFD analysis.
