Improving Electric Motor Designs with Multiphysics Simulation - Archived

The rapid evolution of the global transportation industry toward the use of clean energy has created the need for an agile approach in the R&D of electric motors. Simulation helps speed up the testing phase of the product development cycle by reducing the need for physical prototyping, enabling engineers to perform quick iterations at a fraction of the cost. In addition, different physics phenomena that occur when a motor is running can be combined in a single model to obtain accurate results through simulation.

Join us for this interactive webinar to explore the power of simulation, for designing high-performance electric motors. This session includes a live software demonstration, and we encourage you to ask questions during the webinar as well as in the Q&A session at the end.

We will discuss:

• How to model permanent magnet motors, brushless DC motors, and induction motors
• How to combine different physical effects to model phenomena such as rotor-induced vibrations, noise emission, structural integrity of the motor and power losses in the form of heat dissipation
• How to examine and optimize parameters influencing motor efficiency performance such as cogging and rotor torque, air gap MMF, and iron electromagnetic losses
• How simulation can help engineers design high-performance motors through multivariable optimization in a time-and cost-efficient manner
