Alva Industries (Alva), a manufacturer of frameless motors and the creator of FiberPrinting™ technology, today announced the launch of TorqStudio, a new software platform that enables engineers to design, optimize, and analyze electric motors before committing to prototypes or hardware.

TorqStudio supports early-stage motor development by allowing users to move from high-level size requirements to fully manufacturable motor designs in minutes, and to validate performance at defined operating points using analytical models developed by Alva Industries.

“With TorqStudio, engineers can move from high-level requirements to data-driven motor designs extremely quickly,” said Anton Franzén, Director of Product Management at Alva Industries. “The platform removes much of the uncertainty typically associated with early motor design and gives users immediate insight into what is technically possible.”

Motor Design from Simple Size Constraints

Using TorqStudio, users begin by defining basic motor constraints such as outer diameter and axial length. Based on these inputs, the platform automatically generates thousands of candidate motor designs and filters them to present only the most efficient solutions.

Each design is evaluated based on key performance metrics, including motor constant and motor mass, allowing engineers to clearly visualize trade-offs and select optimal designs for their application. All presented designs represent complete motor concepts that can be manufactured.

Selected designs can be saved to a personal design database, exported as datasheets, and used directly in further analysis. Users can also submit a request for quotation if they wish to proceed toward development or procurement.

Performance Analysis at Defined Operating Points

Beyond design generation, TorqStudio provides detailed motor analysis capabilities. Users can define operating conditions such as supply voltage, ambient temperature, cooling conditions, torque, speed, and switching frequency, then evaluate how a motor performs at specific operating points.

Results are visualized on speed–torque maps and supported by detailed output data, including:

• Mechanical and electrical power
• DC and AC current
• Efficiency and losses
• Stator and motor temperatures
• Current waveforms

Multiple operating points can be analyzed simultaneously, with data easily imported from tools such as Excel. All results can be downloaded for documentation or further evaluation.

Custom and Standard Motor Evaluation in One Platform

TorqStudio supports analysis of both custom motor designs created by the user and Alva’s standard motor portfolio, enabling direct comparison within a single environment.

All designs and analyses are stored in a centralized design database, providing a complete overview of available motors and simplifying evaluation, comparison, and decision-making.

Enabling Faster, More Confident Motor Development

By combining rapid motor design generation with detailed operating-point analysis, TorqStudio enables engineers to:

• Explore motor design trade-offs efficiently
• Validate performance and thermal margins early
• Reduce reliance on physical prototyping
• Accelerate development cycles
