The step by step procedure to create a parameterized 3D model from a 2D sketch of Radial IPM is demonstrated in the below video.
Key steps in 3D model creation of Radial IPM:
1 Exporting 2D Geometry : The video begins by utilizing 2D sketch of the IPM motor. This sketch includes 2D components such as the stator, rotor, magnets, and air gaps.
2 Parameter Definition: Utilizing SimLab's variable manager, the video demonstrates how to define critical geometric parameters—like Stack length for Extrusion. This parameterization allows for easy adjustments and design iterations.
3 Creating Sliding Cylinder: The end of the video also demonstrates how to create a sliding cylinder. In FEA simulations of electric motors, a "sliding cylinder" or "sliding boundary" refers to a method for simulating the relative motion between the rotor and stator, which is crucial for accurately modeling the machine's performance.
