Automate The Design Process

the commercialisation of a breakthrough direct-drive technology for electric vehicles by Magnomatics, a company set up to develop new forms of magnetic power transmission.

Cobham Technical Services’ Opera simulator has been used to design a novel direct drive system that integrates a permanent magnet motor with non-contact magnetic gearing.

Called the Pseudo Direct Drive, this new form of traction motor offers such an exceptional torque density that it can be packaged within a vehicles wheel. Magnomatics’ design team evaluated thousands of design variations with the aid of automated simulation provided by the Opera software.
