Modeling and Simulation for Electric Motor Design
Designing efficient, high-powered electric motors requires an understanding of the complex interactions between electromagnetic, thermal, and structural phenomena.
Watch this archived webinar to learn about the capabilities of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for creating electric motor models in 2D, 2.5D, and 3D. The presentation covers modeling of iron and copper loss, temperature-dependent characteristics, magnetomechanical couplings, and time-periodic electromagnetics. You will learn how the software can be used to capture complex interacting effects that influence motor performance, such as imbalanced electromagnetic forces in the motor body that lead to vibration, air gaps, and rotor misalignment. The webinar concludes with a demonstration in the software.
