Ansys Maxwell
Ansys Maxwell is a 3D electromagnetic field simulation software that helps engineers design and analyze electromagnetic and electromechanical devices. It enables accurate modeling of complex geometries and can be used for a wide range of applications, including motors, generators, transformers, sensors, and actuators.
Simulation Software for Low Frequency Electromagnetic Applications
Ansys Maxwell can solve static, frequency-domain, and time-varying magnetic and electric fields, and can also be coupled to Ansys structural and thermal solvers for multiphysics analysis.
Ansys Maxwell capabilities for coupling to circuit simulators (either as reduced order modelling or co-simulation approaches) make it possible to investigate system as a whole and analyze interactions between different components, for example in an electric drive system.
