EMSS Equivalent Circuits
Maxwell Electro-Mechanical Simulation Software (EMSS), is used in conjunction with
Ansoft’s Schematic Capture program and Maxwell 2D to add mechanical components
and components with time-varying parameters to your circuits.
When you purchase EMSS, you can generate Maxwell Spiceand Saber equivalent circuits from Maxwell software solutions. In addition, mechanical components augment the
Schematic Capture Add menu.
Parametric Tables
The parametric analysis solved in the field simulator must be set up carefully in order to
create a valid circuit model.
•
•
For the two actuator models, add motion as a constraint in the geometry, and include
it as a variable in the parametric table. Also include force or torque in the table.
Use Data/Sweep to add the independent variables (current, position, rotation, and so
forth) so that they form nested families of curves. For example, given the independent
variables i1 and i2 , sweep i1 through its range of values. Next, for each value of i1,
sweep i2 through its range.
Inductance and Capacitance Matrices
For magnetostatic models, EMSS assumes that inductance is a function of input current,
so create a current through each conductor which can be added to the parametric table
and varied. For electrostatic models, EMSS uses the capacitance matrices, and you need
to set up a voltage source for each conductor in these models.

General Procedure
> To use an EMSS equivalent circuit:
1. In Maxwell 2D, create a parametric table with the variations you want to include in the
exported model.
2. If you are running a motor simulation, set up the motor.
3. Run the variable field simulation, making sure you solve an electrostatic or magnetostatic problem.
4. Do one of the following:
• If you are modeling a motor, choose Post Process/Motor Performance from the
Executive Commands menu to access the Motor Performance window.
• If you are not modeling a motor, choose Post Process/Export Circuit Equivalent. The Equivalent Circuit window appears. Set the appropriate parameters, then
choose Create Equivalent to create the circuit equivalent file.
5. Once you have exported the equivalent circuit, access Schematic Capture from the
Project Manager.
6. Use the File/Import Parts command to make the equivalent circuit available to Schematic Capture, or use the Add/Mechanical submenu to add an EMSS mechanical circuit equivalent.

Parameterized Model exports data from a parametric sweep.
Nominal Matrix exports data from the single current solved in the nominal solution.
When you choose this option, the window changes to allow you to select which of the
solved matrices you want to export. When exporing a nominal matrix, you may enter a
value at which to scale exported data, as well as define any Coupling limits.
Format
The format in which you want your model.
•
•
Maxwell SPICE, the Ansoft version of Berkeley SPICE.

Saber model format, you can specify the DSYM Pin Spacing. This adjusts spacing
between pins for a DesignStar symbol, in mulitples of 16 grid units. Note that Extra
Ports works differently with a Saber model.
Use Model Picture
This checkbox determines whether the exported circuit equivalent displays a drawing of
the model. If you do not use a model picture, DesignStar symbols may be drawn faster in
circuit displays.

When you create a dq0 circuit model in Maxwell 2D, you can export an equivalent circuit,
just as with other models. However, you must use the Export button in the Motor Performance window, rather than the Maxwell Equivalent Circuit window, to do this.
> To export a dq0 circuit model:
1. choose Do Transient Parameters from the motor setup window. When you solve for
variables, the transient parameters will be included in the parametric table.
2. Select Export from the Motor Performance window. The following window appears:

Leakage inductance for the d-axis.
• This is the default leakage inductance, and is used
unless Use LLQ or Use LL0 are selected.

Use a separate leakage inductance for the q-axis.
Use a separate zero-sequence leakage inductance.
Use a damper circuit on the rotor d-axis.
• For induction motors, this option is already used, so it is
disabled.
• For synchronous generators, this option must be used for
the field winding, so it is selected by default.
Use a damper circuit on the stator d-axis.
Use a damper circuit on the rotor q-axis. For induction
motors, this option is already used, so it is disabled.
Use a damper circuit on the stator q-axis.
The input pins represent motor speed, rather than position as in other equivalent circuits.
The output pins represent torque (+ and –), rather than linear force.

Because EMSS problems are solved in two dimensions, you can change some of the
induction motor parameters in the Post Processor.
> To edit motor performance parameters:
1. Choose Edit from the Motor Performance window. The following window appears:
2. Select the value you want to change from the list, and edit the field.
3. Choose OK when you are finished making your changes.

If you want to change motor parameters for an induction motor solved with
an earlier version of EMSS, you need to re-solve the problem.
> To re-solve for a later version:
1. Open Maxwell 2D and choose Draw. Save the model, then exit.
2. Choose Setup Solution/Options, then Manual Mesh, and create a
mesh in the same way as you originally set up the motor.
3. Exit the Meshmaker, then set up the other options as originally done.
4. Solve the nominal problem, and set up the motor configuration as
before.
5. Solve the parametric problem. The Motor Performance window will
now allow you to edit certain induction motor parameters.
