Key Use Cases
What is ANSYS Maxwell
The engineering standard for electric machine and magnetics simulation
ANSYS Maxwell solves Maxwell's equations for low-frequency electromagnetic problems using the Finite Element Method. It handles the full range of motor physics: rotating geometry with automatic sliding mesh, nonlinear BH material curves, permanent magnet demagnetization, eddy currents in laminations and conductors, and external circuit excitation from real inverter waveforms.
Maxwell is used by every major EV manufacturer and Tier-1 supplier globally. CADFEM Ukraine — the sole authorized ANSYS Channel Partner in Ukraine — provides official Maxwell licenses, English-language training, and EM design consulting for EV, power electronics, and energy companies operating in or exporting from Ukraine.
Automatic adaptive FEM mesh
Maxwell's adaptive mesh refinement (AFE) converges automatically — no manual mesh tuning required. Results match physical measurements for nonlinear, rotating, and transient EM problems.
2D and 3D in one package
Maxwell 2D for rapid optimization of motor cross-sections and transformer windings; Maxwell 3D for accurate end-winding effects, skew, asymmetry, and complex 3D geometries. Both share the same material library and post-processing.
Nonlinear BH materials & demagnetization
Full nonlinear BH curve support: hysteresis, anisotropic materials, temperature-dependent properties, and demagnetization curves for NdFeB, SmCo, and ferrite permanent magnets — essential for accurate EV motor loss prediction.
System-level drive integration
Maxwell co-simulates with ANSYS Simplorer / Twin Builder — the electric motor model exchanges data with the inverter circuit (IGBT switching, PWM) and controller (FOC, DTC) for realistic drive-cycle loss analysis.

+38 (050) 454-37-54What is ANSYS Maxwell and what engineering problems does it solve?
+
ANSYS Maxwell is the industry-standard low-frequency electromagnetic field simulator based on the Finite Element Method. It solves Maxwell's equations for DC, AC, and transient EM problems in motors, generators, transformers, inductors, solenoids, and power electronics assemblies. Maxwell is the tool of choice for EV motor designers who need accurate efficiency maps, iron and magnet loss predictions, and full drive-cycle co-simulation with the inverter. CADFEM Ukraine provides official Maxwell licenses and English-speaking EM support in Ukraine.
What is the difference between ANSYS Maxwell and ANSYS HFSS?
+
Maxwell targets low-frequency EM problems (DC to ~100 MHz): motors, generators, transformers, inductors, solenoids, power electronics — where device dimensions are much smaller than the wavelength and quasi-static approximations apply. HFSS targets high-frequency problems (MHz to THz): antennas, filters, waveguides, 5G, radar — where wave propagation and radiation matter. Choose Maxwell for anything that spins, switches, or stores electromagnetic energy at power frequencies; choose HFSS for anything that radiates or propagates EM waves.
How does ANSYS Maxwell generate an electric motor efficiency map?
+
Maxwell Transient solver computes the electromagnetic torque and losses (copper, iron, magnet) for each operating point defined by rotational speed and torque. Run a parametric sweep across the full T-n grid using ANSYS Optimetrics or optiSLang, and Maxwell automatically assembles the efficiency map (η in %) as a 2D contour plot. This is the standard deliverable in EV motor development — used to select the optimal gear ratio and control strategy.
What is co-simulation between ANSYS Maxwell and the inverter circuit?
+
Maxwell co-simulation with ANSYS Simplorer / Twin Builder couples the EM motor model with a power electronics circuit model in the same time domain: Maxwell computes the motor EM behavior (torque, flux, back-EMF) at every time step; Simplorer models the IGBT inverter, gate driver, DC bus capacitance, and FOC/DTC controller. This means the motor is excited by the real PWM voltage waveform — not a sinusoidal approximation — giving accurate harmonic loss prediction and realistic drive-cycle performance.
Does ANSYS Maxwell support 2D and 3D analysis? When should I use each?
+
Maxwell 2D uses planar or axisymmetric cross-section geometry — it is 100–1000x faster than 3D and covers the vast majority of motor and transformer optimization studies. Maxwell 3D captures full 3D effects: end-winding inductance and resistance, rotor skew, asymmetric loading, 3D busbar geometries, and real component shapes with complex boundaries. Typical workflow: optimize the electromagnetic design in 2D (hundreds of parametric variants), then verify the final design in 3D to capture 3D effects before prototype.
Does CADFEM Ukraine provide ANSYS Maxwell support in English?
