Pi-CADS

Pi-CADS – Motor is a next-generation SaaS-based cloud platform designed for rapid 2D axisymmetric motor design, analysis, and optimization. Tailored for motor designers, engineers, enthusiasts, and manufacturers in India and globally, it supports the creation of custom electric vehicle (EV) and non-EV motors for various applications, including appliances and machinery, with integrated modules for vehicle dynamics, motor design, and performance analysis.

For EV applications, users can determine motor specifications using the built-in Vehicle Dynamics module, and design motors based on one of three topologies:

IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)
SPMSM (Surface Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)
SynRM (Synchronous Reluctance Motor)

For non-EV applications, users can design motors by inputting required torque, speed (peak and continuous), or defining motor geometry based on specific use cases.

Why Pi-CADS – Motor?

The Problem

Most commercial motor design tools begin with fixed stator and rotor geometries wherein users would first need to enter the dimensions of Stator and Rotor, forcing engineers into lengthy, trial-and-error simulation cycles. Creating complex slot and hole designs is often tedious, time-consuming, and expensive.

Solutions

Effortless Geometry Creation Design complex stator slot and rotor hole configurations with ease. Pi-CADS uses fully parametric geometry editing, allowing intuitive, visual control—far simpler than traditional CAD workflows.

Faster Time-to-Market Run complete design simulations without physical prototyping. Rapidly iterate and refine designs in a virtual environment to dramatically accelerate product development.

Cloud-Powered Simulation & Collaboration All simulations run on the cloud, utilizing server-grade multi-processing hardware for high-speed computation. Outputs are automatically generated and can be shared with other users for real-time collaboration—anytime, anywhere.

Lower Development Costs Catch design issues early in the digital phase. Reduce dependency on physical test rigs, tooling iterations, and rework—cutting down both time and cost.

Sustainable by Design By replacing physical iterations with virtual testing, Pi-CADS helps you conserve resources, reduce waste, and minimize your environmental footprint.
