Multi-physical simulation of drive trains

Converter fed and feedback controlled drive trains is today´s standard configuration for highly dynamic drive applications. The design process for such drive trains must meet the target specifications as well as given constraints for the parasitic effects. Depending on the area of application, these parasitic effects require importance to be attached to e.g. sound radiation power, losses specific to the different components or the overall efficiency. Furthermore, understanding the interdependencies between converter, electric machine, gear and load is indispensable in the optimal design process.
