Course Summary
Altair
SimLab is
a process-oriented multidisciplinary simulation environment to analyze
the performance of complex assemblies accurately. Multiple physics,
including
structural, thermal, electromagnetics, and fluid dynamics, can be easily
set up
using highly automated modeling tasks, helping to drastically reduce the
time
spent creating finite element models and interpreting results. Altair’s
robust,
accurate and scalable solvers can run locally, on remote servers, or in
the cloud.
In this course, we will explore several workflows for the multi-physics analysis
of electric motors using the SimLab environment. Those workflows include
electromagnetic, vibration, acoustic, and thermal (using CFD) analysis.
Prerequisites:
- The user should know how to use
SimLab on a fundamental level or attended “SimLab Introduction” training beforehand.
- Basic knowledge of electric
motors are highly recommended
Goals and Objectives:
- Setting up a complete 2D model
(geometry, mesh, and physics) of an electric motor inside the SimLab environment
- Performing basic
post-processing of the electric motor performance ( Flux density, torque,
losses,…)
- Creating the mechanical and
acoustic mesh of the 3D CAD model of the electric motor (Stator and housing
assembly)
- Setting up the model for
vibration and acoustic analysis and import of the forces computed by the
electromagnetic analysis
- Post-processing of the normal
modes, equivalent radiated power (ERP), and acoustic pressure and power at
distance from the motor
- Set up the CFD analysis and
using the losses computed by the electromagnetic analysis as heat sources
- Post-processing of the
temperature distribution inside the motor
