Both electromagnetic and mechanical finite element modelling are powerful tools for designers of electric machines. For high-speed applications, some examples of the areas where Best Solution can provide modelling support are:
- Rotor containment can losses (caused by modulation of rotor field by stator teeth)
- Rotor stress distribution resulting from shrink fitting of containment cans
- Rotor stress distribution at maximum speed
- Investigation of rotor and shaft vibration modes and critical speeds
- Copper losses resulting from leakage fields
In addition, Best Solution can assess thermal performance using sophisticated steady-state and transient thermal models.
