Abstract |
The paper provides an overview of the modern
field simulation techniques available to assist in the design
and performance prediction of electromechanical devices,
including electric motors. Commercial software, usually
based on finite element or related techniques, is already very
advanced and provides a reliable tool for every-day use in
the design office. At the same time Computational
Electromagnetics is a thriving area of research with
emerging new techniques and methods, in particular for
multi-physics and optimisation problems. |
