Primal domain decomposition method with direct and iterative solver for circuit-field-torque coupled parallel finite element method to electric machine modelling

摘要

The analysis and design of electromechanical devices involve the solution of large sparse linear systems, and require therefore high performance algorithms. In this paper, the primal Domain Decomposition Method (DDM) with parallel forward-backward and with parallel Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (PCG) solvers are introduced in two-dimensional parallel time-stepping finite element formulation to analyze rotating machine considering the electromagnetic field, external circuit and rotor movement. The proposed parallel direct and the iterative solver with two preconditioners are analyzed concerning its computational efficiency and number of iterations of the solver with different preconditioners. Simulation results of a rotating machine is also presented.
