In classical development strategies, different attributes of the motor are developed in silos, often leading to unfavorable compromises concerning attribute performance and added lead time to a feasible final design. It is often beyond comprehension to find the optimal trade-off in multiphysics development situations without an integrated, highly automatic and holistic design strategy.
In the future, such holistic design strategy will be necessary, both considering the different physics requirements and the e-motor being an integrated component of the complete e-powertrain. Different physics and associated requirements must be considered simultaneously.
Siemens is collaborating with leading OEMs and suppliers to develop a solution for multiphysics e-motor design, the Simcenter E-Motor Director. The Simcenter E-Motor Director facilitates a highly automated process to speed up e-motor design by facilitating multiphysics simulation, design-of experiments, rapid design exploration and system-level optimization of multiphysics electric powertrain design problems.
