Multidisciplinary Optimal Design of Electric Machines Using Multimodeling Approach

摘要

The concept of multiphysic optimization is applied to the design of an electric motor. It combines finite elements and analytical models to form together a multiphysic model of the electric motor. The different models represent different machine phenomena as electromagnetic, thermal and vibro-acoustic. These models are strongly coupled through a constrained optimization process that imposes them to be simultaneously in accordance with the specifications.
