Ansys Maxwell Reviews

The GUI of Ansys is user friendly and nice. It has got a good number of user manual guides. Moreover, the learning community of Ansys is quite big and helpful.

The mesh creation procedure should be made easier.

I do the electric motor design with Ansys Maxwell. I do the CAD design , simulation and optimization of electric motors.

The software is very professional in performing low frequency electromagnetic field simulations. Resistant modeling can be used in calculating the magnetic fields created by electronic equipmement or parts inside these equipment. In this way, it guides the deigner during the prototyping phase

None, I am really enjoying the interface

It really helped me in getting the desired accuracy and the results while designing the transformers

I am using Ansys Maxwell for the industrialization phase of the traction motor development. I have used other electromagnetic FEA tools too but when comparing to those Ansys Maxwell provides a really good user friendly interface and wide range of post processing capabilities to the user. In built circuit editor simplorer provides a platform to couple the power electronics with electromagnetic FEA which allows us to model the motor more accurately.

Rmxprt can be improved a lot. Improving the capabilities to export the electromagnetic results to other software like Star CCM ,Ansa, etc,. for further studies such as thermal and structural. Importing mesh from other meshing software into the tool can be added since it provides greater flexibility for the end user to use the same mesh in different software for the further analysis. All the motor control models are created in MATLAB so it will be a great advantage if Ansys Maxwell can provide a way to export the FEA results in to a MATLAB compatible 1D model for the further study of control systems.

I am using Ansys Maxwell to solve the problems which arises in the industrialization phase such as rotor eccentricity, Loss evaluation due to material change, 1D model development. It provide us a huge cost benefit by providing us a virtual prototype of e machine which can be tested before creating the actual prototype. Also certain kind of destructive studies such as demagnetization study can be done using this tool without actually loosing the prototype.

Ease of use and usability. I've used it for my research and it proved to be very useful.

None at all. It's a solid software for what it is.

Definitely know what you are looking for. It is a great product for what it is, but you need to know what you want to get the most out of it.

I've had to design transformers, and the accuracy and how quickly it gave me the result was very helpful in quick turn around.

It is very professional in performing low frequency electromagnetic field simulations and guides the users correctly thanks to its ready-made tools during the analysis process.

2D or 3D manyeto resistant modeling can be made.

The built in algorithms can combat any problem and is very user friendly. I have been using 19 version now. The aesthetics have had minor improvements. I like the versatility of the software.

The welcome screen is terribly tiny for 4k resolution. I have to use a magnifier to see the tree and other options. The software glitches in case of heavy computation. I would like to see some improvements in these things. Other than that, it is a very good tool.

Read the user manual to make sure that you are using all the options correctly. If chosen the wrong options, the results can have a high margin of error.

We use ANSYS to simulate different conditions before building actual structures. It helps us minimize cost by reducing materials required and predicting the behavior of different components in a structure.

Easy to model magnetics. Intuitive User interface. Reliable results for simple applications.

User interface is not very presentable. Post processing could be better. Spacemouse compatibility should be improved.

Predicting magnetostatic forces. Designing products optimizing the magnetic force a particular area sees.

The best thing that I like about this software is the functionality and it also has a wonderful UI. The software also gives us a very important advantage in this competitive world and in this particular field with affordable costs, fast run time and also with incredible improvement in the performance of the system.

I haven't faced any problems yet which can become one of the point that I don't like about this software. So currently there is nothing that I don't like about this software.

If you want a solver or a software which can help you with most of your maxwell related problems then I would personally recommend this software. Best will be if you try it for yourself and see how it works out for you or a particular individual.

I have used this software for designing and analyzing the electric motors, transformers, sensors, actuators. Also used to different electromagnetic concepts analysis and also for designing of such devices.

I really can not think of anything i like

It does have super complicated interface.

Maximum electric field prediction. Reliability of insulator.

Ease of use and interfacing with multiple CAD modules provides the biggest bebfit of the software. Duplication of systems, additional loadcases, and material creation makes the software even more user friendly. Also, simulation times trend lower as the software becomes more robust.

Within the comapny, we use a lot of macros written and tailored toward our specific components. From release to release, Ansys will occasionally rename new variables and naming conventions causing us to rework our macros or not perform properly.

Linear static, nonlinear, large displacement, modal, pressfit, linear and nonlinear contact.
