Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) — ANSYS Electromagnetic Simulation, Comparison & Optimisation for E-Bike

I need a complete electromagnetic simulation of a Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) for e-bike use, built in ANSYS Maxwell 2D. The work involves simulating at least one baseline SynRM design, then producing an optimised version that demonstrates clear performance improvement. The freelancer is free to propose the number of baseline designs and topology choices based on their expertise.
What You'll Do
Phase 1 — Baseline Design(s)

Propose and simulate one or more SynRM baseline configurations suitable for e-bike use
Set up fully in ANSYS Maxwell 2D: materials, mesh, boundary conditions, excitations
Run magnetostatic and transient EM solves capturing saturation and slot-leakage effects
Extract and document performance results

Phase 2 — Optimised Design

Based on Phase 1 findings, propose and simulate an optimised design
Sweep key parameters: flux barrier geometry, air gap, d/q current angle, stator/rotor dimensions
Show clear, quantified improvement over the baseline(s)

Specs

DC bus voltage: 36 V or 48 V
Power range: ~250 W–1500 W (e-bike range)
All designs must be manufacturable and real-world compatible

Deliverables

ANSYS Maxwell project file(s), fully configured
Comparison table: torque, torque ripple, flux density peaks, Ld/Lq, efficiency estimates
Plots per design: torque vs. electrical angle, flux density maps, current density maps
Short PDF report: design rationale, modelling assumptions, solver settings, key conclusions

Acceptance Criteria

Results physically plausible and mesh warning-free
Optimised design shows clear, quantified improvement over baseline
All specs achievable in a real manufactured motor
