Ansys Maxwell - 3PH Induction Motor - Part 2 - Electric Machine Toolkit ACT
Hello everyone, my name is David Giglio with Ozen Engineering, Inc. In this video, I will show you how to use the ANSYS Electronic Toolkit ACT. All that is needed is a Maxwell design with everything set up, including:
- Model motion setup
- Boundary conditions
- Excitations
- An analysis setup
After this is complete, open the ACT by going to View > ACT Extensions and choosing Machine Toolkit. If it's not available, go to the ANSYS store and download it for free. Once it's available, fill out four pages to set up the wizard for the ACT.
Wizard Setup
- Electric machine characteristics
- Design of experiment settings
- Map characteristics: axis alignment, phases, state or phase resistance, core losses, mechanical losses
- Toolkit analysis options: Keep transient data in the toolkit database
After running the toolkit, you will be able to add torque-speed curves on the toolkit. You can also plot and choose to use results of simulations to create efficiency maps. There will be a drop-down to select the design for these curves and efficiency maps.
Capabilities of the ACT
The ACT is able to develop torque-speed curves for:
- Switched reluctance machines
- Inductance machines
- Synchronous machines, such as:
- Permanent magnet machines
- Synchronous reluctance
- Well-rotor synchronous
Once the ACT finishes creating the torque-speed curve model, it automatically creates a few extra designs in your project. Here are some of the results:
Results
- Efficiency Map: Includes an efficiency map color legend showing the region where efficiency is the highest.
- Torque-Speed Curves: Families of curves evaluate the performance of the machine, particularly the output power. For example, in the region close to 750 RPM and about 2000 RPM, the output power is very high.

Four pages include: 1. Electric machine characteristics, showing the information here. 2. Design of experiment settings, map characteristics, axis alignment, phases, state or phase resistance, core losses, and mechanical losses. 3. Toolkit analysis options.
Here, keep transient data in the toolkit database after running the toolkit. After running the toolkit, we will be able to: 1. Add talk speed curves on the toolkit. 2. Add speed curves on the toolkit to plot. 3. Choose use results of simulations to create efficiency maps.
There will be a dropdown to select the design for these curves and efficiency maps. The ACT is able to develop torque-speed curves for switch reluctance machines, induction machines, and synchronous machines such as permanent magnet machines, synchronous reluctance, and wound rotor synchronous.
Once the ACT finishes creating the torque-speed curve model, it automatically creates a few extra designs in your project. Here are some of the results: 1. Efficiency map with an efficiency map color legend. It shows you the region where efficiency is the highest. 2. Torque-speed curves.
These are families of curves that evaluate the performance of the machine. 3. Output power. The torque-speed curves evaluate the performance for the output power. We see in this region, close to 750 rpm and about 2000 rpm, that the output power is very high. That's all for this video.
