The following tutorials use SimLab with the Flux solver for the modeling and analysis of a 2D electric motor. 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.


Step 1 - deals with the motor geometry and mesh construction with Simlab sketcher.

Here are the files to follow the tutorial: 


Step 2 - deals with motor physics definition and solving process for the following cases:

  • Cogging torque analysis
  • Back EMF analysis
  • Constant speed analysis
