Ansys Maxwell Advanced Motor Training

Course Overview

The Advanced Motor Training course has the goal to provide users a better understanding of Ansys Maxwell capabilities in simulating rotating electrical machines and of the suggested workflows to get the best simulation performances and results. For the sake of simplicity the machines presented through the Training are PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines) and IM (Induction Machines). Most of the techniques and workflows shown for those machines can be further applied to different machine types.

Prerequisites

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge. A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.
