A new method for design and analysis of a parameterized electrical machine electromagnetic fields finite element package

This paper presents a new software analysis method that introduces the IDEFO software function analysis into object-oriented (OO) modeling. A systematical object-retrieving method based on IDEFO is proposed. The IDEFO improves the object-retrieving of OO method and can facilitate the construction of functional models of the software package. This paper applies the proposed method to the parameterized finite element analysis (FEA) package for electrical machine electromagnetic fields. The FEA package developed successfully suggests that the new method combines the respective advantages of IDEFO and OO method.
