Welcome to the PF. Is this for a school project? What do you know about Ansoft so far? What learning resources do you have available for this project?
 
Here's a coincidence, I just got an e-mail from Ansoft about an upcoming webinar on simulating circuits and systems for electric vehicles. Might have some applicability to your question:

I have always found Ansoft and ADS to be very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to asking questions about how to use their software for modeling. E-mailing them directly goes a long way.
