Flux - SimLab Tutorial : 3D Rear View Mirror Motor
Altair EmployeeDescription
This tutorial illustrates one possible method to create a 3D model of a small permanent magnet motor, used to align the rear-view mirror of a car. It contains the general steps and all data needed to describe the motor model.
The device to be analyzed is a small permanent magnet motor, used to align the rear view mirror of a car. The motor under study consists of four main parts: frame, permanent magnets, rotor and coils.
Analysis 1: Magneto Static Study using a multi-static kinematic model
In this study rotor takes different static positions; the material used for the frame and the rotor is stainless steel with nonlinear B(H) characteristic.
The cogging torque is plot below :

Note :
The tutorial packaging may evolve with each new version, but not mandatory. The latest version of the tutorial package will automatically work with the most recent release of SimLab.
Example: After installing the SimLab 2025 release, you can find the latest Tuto_2024.zip package. This means that the tutorial has not been updated since 2024 release, that the tutorial does not need to be updated, and that the tutorial still works in 2024.1 release and 2025 release.
