Abstract

DeepDrive, a young high-tech company based in Munich, has developed an innovative electric motor technology based on a dual-rotor radial flux design. With the target to become a key automotive supplier, DeepDrive focuses on reducing development times, cutting prototype costs, and minimizing time-to-market. A critical element in this process is the application of advanced simulation techniques. The motor technology is based on a novel counter-skewed wave winding, offering high torsional stiffness, excellent electromagnetic properties, and efficient thermal management. Due to the motor’s advanced and highly specific geometry, precise 3D simulations are essential to achieve optimal performance. For this, DeepDrive utilizes JMAG software to ensure accuracy in modeling and design.
In this presentation, the simulation strategies and optimization approaches employed in the development process will be detailed. Furthermore, simulation results will be validated against empirical measurement data, showcasing the effectiveness of the applied methods in advancing this cutting-edge motor technology.
