Description
This tutorial shows how to use SimLab to design and run electromagnetic analysis with Flux solver for electric motors. The studied device, a brushless DC motor with surface permanent magnet, includes the following elements:
- a fixed part (stator) including yoke, slots, and windings
- an air gap
- a movable part (rotor) with surfaced magnets
In this tutorial, three typical transient magnetic analyses are defined to evaluate the motor performance:
- Analysis 1: Computation of the cogging torque
- Analysis 2: Back Electromotive Force
- Analysis 3: Constant speed
Note: The geometry model is built by the Sketch of SimLab
Analysis 1: Computation of the cogging torque
Analysis 2: Back Electromotive Force
Analysis 3: Constant speed
