Simcenter™ SPEED™ links to several general-purpose 2D and 3D electromagnetic finite element solvers such as Simcenter™ STAR-CCM+™, Simcenter™ MAGNET™ or to the Simcenter SPEED dedicated 2D magnetostatic program, PC-FEA. These enable modeling and study of the electric machine more precisely if needed, for example in cases of high saturation, under fault conditions, and non-SPEED template based geometries. In general, users can connect Simcenter SPEED with other tools required for the complete electric machine solution using various scripting or programming languages. More specifically, automation makes use of the scripting capabilities as driving Simcenter SPEED on its own or together with other programs, such as STAR-CCM+. This automated workflow follows the scripting approach and uses STAR-CCM+ and its multiphysics solvers for electromagnetic, thermal (full 3D conjugate heat transfer) and mechanical stress analysis along with Java scripts to provide and feed back additional information to Simcenter SPEED. HEEDS is a powerful software package in the Simcenter portfolio that automates the design space exploration process. Simcenter SPEED provides a built-in graphical user interface to access HEEDS in two ways: as a full HEEDS installation and as an integrated add-on tool. In both cases, Simcenter SPEED is linked to HEEDS via a Python script using the generic facilities within HEEDS.
In many applications, the electric machine is embedded in a complex system that must be properly designed as well. Simcenter SPEED supports Simcenter™ Amesim™ software for system simulation by creating data files that can be exported from Simcenter SPEED directly as:
