Cadence has released Romax 2026.1, an update to its drivetrain simulation software. Key updates include:
- A preview of the reimagined Static Analysis (2nd Generation) engine, aimed at supporting larger, more complex models, large load-case counts, and modern multicore hardware
- Frequency-domain import of electric machine excitations to evaluate PWM effects on NVH
- An automated Ansys Maxwell interface for electromagnetic force data, with parameters available for optimization and sensitivity studies
- External dynamic condensation support using MSC Nastran
Load-dependent component temperatures for Summary Result Duty Cycles - Roller bearing contact stress export as text files, and HTML report generation, in parametric study and batch running
- Highest-loaded ball/roller reporting, gear scuffing temperature as a study variable, and lead mismatch in customized reporting
- Improved checks during FE component import to reduce modeling errors
