Electric Machine Design Tool for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines

Abstract

Since various machine parameters of existing electric machines are subject to confidentiality agreements of manufacturers, machine data sheets are often incomplete, making an accurate simulation and validation of machine design tools difficult but inevitable. Therefore, an electric machine design tool for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PSM) is introduced in this paper, enabling a holistic electric machine design for existing and new machines using few input parameters. The electric machine design tool is published under an LGPL open source license.
