Indux LFX

Low-frequency electromagnetic FEA built for electric machines

Finite-element computation of the field in rotor, stator and air gap, to verify torque, iron loss, cage loss and transient behaviour.

Why a second solver

The deeper verification that follows a fast design

Magnetic equivalent circuits are excellent at narrowing a wide design space quickly, but phenomena you can only see by looking at the field itself — local saturation, slot harmonics — belong to finite-element analysis. Indux LFX confirms that the narrowed design actually behaves as intended.

Handoff

You do not rebuild the pre-processing

Design

Indux MEC

Explores design candidates in seconds using magnetic equivalent circuits and empirical relations, then exports the settled geometry as STEP after verifying area and volume consistency.

Verify

Indux LFX

Takes that STEP geometry directly into meshing and field analysis. There is no need to build the pre-processing again from scratch.

Workflow

From geometry to verified results

  1. 01
    Import

    Prepare geometry, mesh, materials and winding information.

  2. 02
    Configure

    Set rotation, current, boundary conditions and the analysis steps.

  3. 03
    Solve

    Compute the steady or transient electromagnetic field.

  4. 04
    Validate

    Post-process and compare torque, losses and field distribution.
