Launch of MotorSolve with Thermal Analysis Announced
Infolytica Corporation announced plans to include an extensive thermal analysis module in the next release of MotorSolve, which is due out by fall 2011. With this latest addition, it will be possible to evaluate the impact of temperature and different cooling methods on the performance of brushless, PMAC and induction machines.
Montreal, QC - Infolytica Corporation announced plans to include an extensive thermal analysis module in the next release of MotorSolve, which is due out by fall 2011. With this latest addition, it will be possible to evaluate the impact of temperature and different cooling methods on the performance of brushless, PMAC and induction machines.
The addition of coupled thermal-magnetic simulations will be the most significant enhancement to the functionality of MotorSolve since the launch of this software title.
The thermal analysis module will be a cost option that enhances the accuracy of the existing result computations by accounting for heating and cooling on performance as well as offering new temperature related outputs. Designers can determine the impact of different cooling methods on how the motor will perform.
MotorSolve uses a FEA engine to perform coupled thermal-magnetic simulations which ensures a higher degree of accuracy compared to analytical methods, particularly when calculating end winding temperature and heat flow.
Combining the electromagnetic and thermal analysis in one motor design software is yet another unique feature that MotorSolve will have compared to other tools on the market.
"Other companies promise easy exports to third party packages or transferring data to other more expensive tools to get the complete picture. The new thermal module in MotorSolve means users no longer have to perform tedious steps, deal with compatibility issues or purchase costly upgrades" said Behzad Forghani, Vice-President at Infolytica Corporation. "Using the same software and same motor model, you can calculate flux linkage, efficiency and the temperate in each component of the motor with ease."
Availability
MotorSolve v3 will be available in fall 2011 for PC's running Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and 7.
Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
