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

Analysis

In this tutorial, a simple transient magnetic analysis is defined to evaluate the motor performance on load (torque and efficiency)

Results

Isovalues of B

Electromagnetic Torque VS Angular Position

Stator Joule Losses VS Angular Position

Rotor Joule Losses VS Angular Position

Stator Iron Losses VS Angular Position
