Efficient Design of Dynamic Systems by Combining Network Methods with Finite-Element Methods

摘要

The predetermination of the dynamic behavior of electromechanical systems is a challenging taskrnbecause of the coupled physical domains and various transducer principles. An efficient design ofrnsuch systems requires simulation methods which permit a simultaneous design-accompanying optimization,rntoo. The combination of network methods and Finite Element methods on user level is a timeefficientrnmethod for the simulation of the dynamic behavior of electromechanical systems. In this paperrnthe advantages and the efficiency of this Combined Simulation are demonstrated by hand of differentrnexamples in the light of different abstraction levels. The examples include the application of FEsimulationsrnto determine network structures and parameters, as well as the inclusion of network elementsrnand equivalent network structures in FE-models.
