Abstract :
An electrostatic induction micromotor has been simulated and analyzed using the Finite Formulation. An approach based on a primal-dual barycentric discretization of the 2D space is presented, considering the potential in each node on the primal mesh as unknown. We have introduced the analytical solution of the mathematical model for a simple geometry of the micromotor. The finite formulation solution has been compared with the analytical and FEM solution for verification purposes.
