Altair e-Motor Director is a comprehensive solution designed to address the challenges of developing cutting-edge electric powertrains. It combines the benefits of simulation-driven and data-driven design to handle conflicting constraints from multiple physics domains, helping engineers accelerate the development of high-performance, cost-effective e-motors. The software enables the creation, management, and storage of study descriptions for multi-domain analyses and design of experiments (DOE) data, facilitating the identification of optimal motor families or individual motors through efficient optimization procedures. e-Motor Director operates within the Altair® Pulse™ workflow orchestration environment, allowing specialists to share best practices and solutions in a flexible and automated manner. This system democratizes expert knowledge, making it accessible to a wider range of users for faster and more efficient motor concept evaluation and optimization. By adopting a modular approach, e-Motor Director enables engineers to easily define broad design spaces, explore novel concepts, and refine promising designs, optimizing the balance between performance, efficiency, sustainability, and cost. In addition to electromagnetics, strength, and cooling solutions, Altair e-Motor Director empowers users to consider multiple physics and load cases in a single study. It integrates the effects of the inverter on e-motor performance, accounting for input currents and control signals within a unified workflow. The tool also supports global process integration, enabling users to define custom solutions based on engineering best practices to meet specific client requirements and integrate with existing e-motor design processes.
