FIRST STEPS TOWARDS A FULL INTEGRATED CAD-SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICAL MACHINES

An approach for electrical machines design by using a software which l inks the sizing procedure to the magnetic field computation is present ed in this paper. After reviewing the principles of an electrical mach ine general design, the process of the development and the use of a sp ecial link between the dimensions data and the magnetic field computat ion is described. The whole solution procedure is conducted automatica lly. Any change on the machine dimensions can be made and the sequence of the CAD tasks can be prepared and run automatically without any us er intervention. The whole procedure is applied to a comparative study of different structures of permanent magnets synchronous motors.
