Abstract :
In this paper, a large-scale numerical analysis for eddy currents in laminated cores of an interior permanent-magnet motor is achieved. The eddy currents in the laminated cores caused by the axial flux are simulated by using the Earth Simulator, which is a vector-type parallel supercomputer.
