Calculation and simulation

State-of-the-art simulation tools ensure that technology is protected in our client projects.

The Advance Development department works out specifications for mechanical construction and for developing power electronics. The Calculation department specialists design active components based on the client's specifications.
Another aim is the analysis of the system as a whole.

  • design and calculation of drives
  • electromagnetic calculation
  • determining heat development
  • calculating fluid mechanics
  • thermal calculation
  • vibration calculation
  • rotor dynamics
  • Simulation and analysis of entire systems
    • system simulations (electromagnetic circuits, thermal behavior, mechanics, electronics)
    • system efficiency factors

With the FEM calculation procedures at our disposal, we are able to establish and describe the behavior of electrical machines with great accuracy. This allows us to efficiently forecast, at a higher modeling level, the subsequent operating behavior of both individual components and the system as a whole.

Further examples include determining dynamic losses, along with the associated heat development, calculating fluid mechanics for designing the cooler, and calculating vibration, for determining noise behavior.

In addition, the latest magnetic materials are investigated, and plans made for their use in future development projects.

The department has state-of-the-art numerical and analytical calculation options available, such as the finite element programs (FEM), Maxwell and Ansys Mechanical. Simulations of systems are carried out using MATLAB/Simulink or Simplorer.

Ongoing comparison of simulations to measurements on our dynamometers means that the department has years of experience with a wide range of motor technologies.

Congratulations to the winners of the WRC and many thanks for the last 4 years

Congratulations to Hyundai Motor Company's Thierry Neuville / Martijn Wydaeghe for the Drivers' World Championship title and to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe for the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship Manufacturers' World Championship title.

Compact Dynamics' time as the exclusive series supplier of the FIA's hybrid system for the WRC rallies from 2022 to 2024 will unfortunately come to an end with the abolition of the hybrid unit in the Rally1 cars from 2025.

Many thanks to the teams of Hyundai Motor Company, Toyota Motor Corporation and Ford Motor Company/M-Sport, to the WRC Promoter GmbH and to the FIA World Rally Championship for the good cooperation. A heartfelt thank you to Edouard Montagner Fricker, Laurent Le Bastard and Barny Whitwham, our WRC track support team, for their excellent work on site.
