Motorizing the Bike You Love with Bimotal and Ansys Simulations
“I want to determine if the magnet should be this big or this big, or if the rotor should be this big or this big?” Furey says. “You take 10 magnet variations and 10 rotor variations and 10 thermal variations, and soon you’re at 1,000 iterations. So the thing in motor design is that with 100 parameters to adjust, the number of iterations just explodes.”
Designed using Ansys Motor-CAD simulation software obtained as part of the Ansys Startup Program!

Electric Powertain Integration and Structures Development
TSI Engineering designed a system to suspend Azure’s Force Drive™ battery electric drivetrain in the Transit Connect chassis. And do it in one month.
TSI’s efficient engineering process helped Azure bring the Transit Connect BEV to life in a very short time. Our processes enabled us to develop mature prototype level designs that could be easily changed into mass-manufacturable parts that were efficient, effective and robust.

Sloshing in tanks!
- reduce noise levels
- reduce stresses on the structure
- optimize the baffle arrangements
- account for dynamics effects during sudden start/stop
Sloshing has widespread applications in many industries including automotive, aerospace, ship building and motorcycle manufacturing. The goal of sloshing simulation is to first study the sloshing pattern and then improve the tank design.
“KTM leverages ANSYS to run simulations in the product development/concept phase. This allows engineers to make quick, responsive decisions early before committing major time and resources.”
Martin Perterer,
Head of Research and Simulation
KTM Technologies GmbH
TSI engineering team ensures the frame would meet the high performance requirements. An insatiable appetite for improvement.
When Norco designed their new downhill bike frame, they came to TSI to get to the root of the matter. In this case, the “root” in question was at the critical head tube connection – not an area on a performance bike where you want any doubts.
Thumbprint Solutions was able to localize the high stresses, understand their root cause and iterate on a solution.
Volkswagen Breaks Time Record at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb
“Behind the wheel of the 680-horsepower sports car prototype, Dumas mastered the track and the battery cooling system performed precisely as our simulations predicted. ANSYS provided us the competitive edge to outperform the high altitude and challenging turns and set a new world record.”
