Outcome
The team narrowed the next decision to fin orientation and local wall thickness instead of a full housing redesign.
Context
An electric motor housing can create bearing-temperature, lifetime, and deformation risk when heat cannot escape. The goal was to narrow the risk before fabrication.
Review Question
Could the current housing manage temperature rise during continuous operation, and would fin-direction changes improve the pattern?
RHXY Workflow
- Separate housing, core, and fastener regions from CAD.
- Describe heat sources and convection assumptions.
- Compare fin direction and thickness candidates.
- Prepare results as review imagery and a report.
Decision
The value was narrowing the next engineering decision before committing to fabrication.
