SPEED / Motor-CAD Automated Links:

The excellent data links between SPEED and Motor-CAD allow thermal
models to be set up with minimal user effort.
Combined electromagnetic and thermal modelling is essential in order to
achieve an optimal design as losses depend on temperature and tem- Motor Design Ltd
