Linear Motor Selection & Simulation Tool 3.1

Linear Motor Selection & Simulation Tool is an engineering application that streamlines the sizing, comparison, and validation of linear motors for motion systems. Define your payload, travel, speed, and duty cycle, then simulate realistic motion profiles to verify force, current, voltage, thermal performance, and cycle time before you build.

Key capabilities:

• Motor sizing assistant: capture payload, friction, incline/gravity, safety factors, and constraints (peak/RMS force, supply voltage).
• Motion profile builder: trapezoidal and jerk-limited S-curve moves, multi-segment cycles, and dwell/settling checks.
• Time-domain simulation: position, velocity, acceleration, force, current, voltage, and power, with peak/RMS metrics and thermal rise estimates.
• Configurable library: iron-core and ironless motor models, coil and magnet parameters, encoder resolution, plus user-defined motors.
• Side-by-side comparison: evaluate multiple candidates with margin indicators and derating options.
• Drive and mechanics checks: bus voltage/current headroom, resolution and settling estimates, stiffness and bandwidth approximations.
• Reporting and export: generate sizing reports, performance plots, BOM summaries, and work in metric or imperial units.
• What‑if analysis: explore cooling methods, ambient temperature, safety factors, and energy consumption per cycle.

Ideal for machine builders, automation engineers, and researchers designing gantries, precision stages, pick-and-place systems, and test equipment, this tool reduces trial-and-error, shortens design time, and increases confidence in motor selection.
