Motor Design Ltd would like to invite you to join our free, virtual Motor-CAD Summit, taking place over the week of the 8th — 12th February 2021.

Our 2021 summit will provide an online space where motor designers can learn about technological developments in e-machine design, access interactive workshops and training materials, and discuss their motor design challenges and best practice with our expert team.

• Watch live technical presentations from design engineers at the cutting-edge of electric motor design, including speakers from Cummins, AAM, Great Wall Motors and the Illinois Institute of Technology.
• Learn about modelling hairpin windings in Motor-CAD, oil-spray cooling, E-Machine optimisation and the new features in Motor-CAD v14.
• Take part in advanced modelling workshops on thermal analysis, systems, forces and losses.
• Access to our team for the duration of the week – schedule meetings and give feedback on the Motor-CAD features you would like to see.

Are you new to Motor-CAD, or interested in trying the software for free?

In addition to access to the live technical presentations, clinics and workshops, attendees can:

• Benefit from our offer of a free Motor-CAD licence for the duration of the Summit
