Description
This tutorial shows how to use SimLab to run electromagnetic analysis with Flux solver for electric motors. The studied device, a wound field synchronous motor, is running in motor mode. As presented in the figure below, it includes the following elements:
- a fixed part (stator) including yoke, slots, and windings
- an air gap
- a movable part (rotor) with wound coils
