How to Use Ansys model for my Simulink

Hi there,

I'm trying to optimize an electric vehicle e structure (battery, motor, etc....), my battery model is on Simulink and the motor's is built using Ansys Maxwell I want to parallel optimize parameters from both models, but I don't know how to connect the two softwares.

Hi,

You can refer to the following links, which might help you in achieving the task: -

Thanks for your answer , i see the same answer everywhere but it wasn't what i was looking for.

In fact to do the co-simulation using Ansys/Simulink we only have to use Simplorer where we can combine the two model from the two software

anyway thank you again for your answer :)

Hi @Meddour Aissam riad,

Did you solve the issue? I am in same boat.

Can you share how to interlink both these software?

Thanking You,

Hi @VIJINA ABHIJITH

in my case i was trying to do an optimisation using the matlab toolbox + some analytical calculation in order to implement them into the ansys model.

So ath the end i didn't use the simplorer since i didn't need the trensient part of the simulation,but i will work on it soon so i'll be joining the boat again :/

So it really depends on what you're trying to get from the connection of the two software.

if you're looking for a real time connection you probably need to use the simplorer (from ansys) , then you'll find a simulink block which is like black box with inputs and outputs only.

let me know about your progress

Hi @Meddour Aissam riad

I am using Ansys Maxwell, the electical machine that i worked is in ansys platfom and the controller is in the Matlab.

• i have to interface both softwares.
• i have to optimise both controller and machine parameters for the specified application.

Thanking you,

Vijina

Hello my friends I need to import model from maxwell Ansys to matlab

[Meddour Aissam riad]

You can use SIMPLORER Inside the Ansys electronics software allowing , grouping simulink with Ansys maxwell models

[Hussein Ali]

My friend i need to validate maxwell Ansys results for switched reluctance motor in MATLAB or Simulink can you help me please

[Meddour Aissam riad]

In that case , you have to create you're efficiency map on Ansys maxwell then export the look up table to matlab and use interpolation to alidate your results

[Hussein Ali]

Can you explain that in vedio please

More detailed tutorial video are in the Ansys help forum

It is not complete 😭 I need to validate maxwell Ansys result in MATLAB for switched reluctance motor in generic model

@Hussein Ali kindly let me know if you have made any progress with srm! I need your a bit guidance. My email is also attached

Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything

Hi @Hussein Ali @Meddour Aissam riad@Abdul Ghani@Abhishek Gupta

Do you guys know how can I integrate Ansys Maxwell 3d (ELECTROSTATICS) and MATLAB/Simulink?

I guess Simplorer/Twin Builder cannot be used for Electrostatics !!

TIA
