# Ansys Motor-CAD Reviews **Vendor:** Ansys, Inc. **Category:** [Simulation & CAE Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/simulation-cae) **Average Rating:** 4.5/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 11 ## About Ansys Motor-CAD Ansys Motor-CAD is a dedicated electric machine design tool for fast multiphysics simulation of motor designs across the full torque-speed operating range. Motor-CAD enables design engineers to evaluate motor topologies and concepts, produce designs that are optimized for performance, efficiency, size, cost, weight, as well as other specifications, and automates the analysis process with built-in electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical solvers. Motor-CAD models can be transferred to Ansys Maxwell, Ansys Icepak and Ansys Fluent for deep analysis and validation of motor designs. Combining these solvers with Motor-CAD delivers high-fidelity, 2D/3D analysis capability enabling users to analyze end-effects, demagnetization, core loss, hysteresis, and other advanced electromagnetic phenomena, calculate the thermal envelope for operation, and design complete motor cooling systems. ## Ansys Motor-CAD Reviews ### 1.
