Abstract
When performing the analysis of electromechanical transient problems with m ovement, it is needed to take into account the air gap deformation with tim e. A new remeshing procedure is proposed. It is based on node displacements coupled to a Delaunay algorithm. The node movement is described using bubb les in association with a physical model. The procedure generates high-qual ity meshes.
