Simulation of a PMS Motor by the Help of Two Different Design Software Tools

Abstract

The paper presents simulation results of a two-dimensional Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM or PMS motor), which were calculated with the help of two different Finite Element based design software tools. The first one is the Infolytica MotorSolve which the model is calculated with the help of an automated finite element solver. The second one is COMSOL Multiphysics, which is a finite element-based software for modeling and simulation of any physics-based system The simulation results were compared with each other focusing on the torque, the magnetic flux density, and the magnetic potential of the PMS motor.
