The paper presents the three dimensional (3D) Finite Element Method (FEM) COMSOL Multiphysics® model of a Three Phase Permanent Magnetic Excited Transverse Flux Machine (TFM). The model is fully parameterized and able to sweep over all parameters during design optimization process. The nonlinear BH curve of stator and rotor material as well as the anisotropy of the laminated rotor stack is considered. In order to reduce simulation time and computation effort model symmetries are respected and a mixed formulation with vector and scalar potential is used.
