The new version 2512 of Simcenter E-Machine Design has been released.
Bugs & Fixes in the Release:
More Accurate Results
- Fixed RMS current calculation and time-averaged motion charts to ensure correct analysis results.
- Corrected total loss calculation by removing AC loss double-counting.
- Fixed demagnetisation prediction so it correctly reports a binary (0/1) result.
- Resolved several locale-dependent conversion issues affecting numerical accuracy.
Improved Motion and Post-Processing
- Corrected air gap sampling parameters and chart axis handling in motion analysis.
- Improved consistency in thermal heat flux results when selecting components.
- Added support for NoiseApp when generating B-field data for Force Harmonics results (SM).
Better Reliability in Automation and Scripting
- Fixed blank charts when reports are generated via scripting.
- Ensured suppressed modal dialogues no longer interrupt scripted workflows.
- Improved error reporting when exports fail, so missing components are clearly identified.
Enhanced Support for Hairpin Windings (SM)
- Added native hairpin winding modelling.
- Improved hairpin winding layout visualisation and data entry using tables.
- Ensured winding layouts update correctly when changing the number of parallel paths.
- Enabled import and export of hairpin winding patterns using text or CSV files.
Improved IM Modelling and Exports
- Fixed incorrect speed data in UNV exports.
- Corrected rotor bar alignment in skewed squirrel-cage rotors with end ring overhang.
- Improved 3D IM exports so air gap and air enclosure correctly account for end ring geometry.
Stronger SCDX Export Quality
- Improved SCDX exports for all motor types (linear skew support planned for a future release).
- Enabled SCDX export directly from the Results section.
- Added proper electrical insulation handling between step-skewed magnets in 3D exports.
- Clarified warnings related to idealised stator and rotor end windings.
Smoother Upgrades and Startup
- Fixed upgrade issues that could cause outdated or missing material data.
- Prevented unintended changes to winding definitions during model upgrades.
- Ensured license and error dialogues are always visible during application startup.
Usability and GUI Improvements
- Added an option to keep curve data labels visible when analysing charts.
- Improved file dialogues to remember the last used folder and filter.
- Clarified parameter names, tool names, and descriptions for easier interpretation.
