Winding editor

×

Fast and easy creation of your winding without the need to create every single winding. Visualize and modify with simplicity the winding pattern. Parametrize the winding to compare selected winding

Selection of the number of slots and number of poles of your winding. Followed by the selection of the winding parts. Using a simple interface, you will be allowed to create the winding pattern you wish and get a visual feedback of it.

Efficiency Map

×

Create accurate efficiency map quickly and easily in JMAG-Designer model with a breakdown of the losses each selected operating point. Allowing for parametric studies based on efficiency maps in the early stage of the development. Furthermore, a high precision map can be generated using JMAG control circuits using PWM drive as well as Iron loss studies.

Efficiency maps can be generated in a parametric study allowing to observe the impact of the magnet width on the machine’s performance. Each map giving a breakdown of the losses at any selected operating point.

Topology optimisation

×

Explore new design concepts without the need of CAD parameters. Perfect for early design phase as the potential resulting shapes are only limited by the selected design space.

Selecting a design space the topology optimisation will optimize the torque and torque ripple of the machine. Changing the shapes of the model from generation to generation to reach the objectives.
