Finite Element Modeling of an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for Calibration and Testing Purposes

Abstract

This research focuses on the utilization of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for the modeling of an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM). The long term goal of the project is to model the given motor and simulate its operating conditions using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The FEM solutions will also be used to extract important motor operating conditions and parameters.
