Introduction to 2D Motor Modeling
In COMSOL Multiphysics®, you can model motors in 2D, 2.5D, or 3D, using options for different material models, windings, and circuits. You can also use built-in multiphysics functionality to couple electromagnetic simulations with other physics such as heat transfer, fluid flow, structural mechanics, and acoustics. Using these multiphysics couplings allows you to holistically evaluate the overall performance of a motor.
In the first part of this course, the basic principles of electric motor modeling are introduced and demonstrated in 2D. Start learning how to model electric motors by watching the first video in this series below.
