This tutorial explains how Motor-CAD Functional Mock-Up Units (FMUs) from Ansys Motor-CAD® dedicated electric motor design tool for multiphysics simulation can be used to model the electromagnetic and thermal performance of electric machines within a system level simulation.
In this example Ansys Twin Builder® simulation-based digital twin platform and MATLAB/Simulink are used to demonstrate this functionality. The model uses the Functional Mock-Up Interface (FMI) standard so many other system simulation tools can be used in a similar way.
Learning Outcomes:
Following completion of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Understand the role of Motor-CAD FMUs in system-level simulations.
- Configure and use different Motor-CAD FMU types.
- Integrate Motor-CAD machine models into Twin Builder and Simulink.
- Perform coupled electromagnetic and thermal system simulations.
- Analyze and validate simulation results.
- Extend system models using custom parameters and scripting.
Prerequisites:
- Getting Started with Ansys Motor-CAD Software course.
Please note: These training materials were developed and tested in the 2026 R1 release.
