Abstract :
The article discusses about the use of finite elements method (FEM) software in order to help lecturer to teach design of electrical machines. Nowadays, lecturers have less and less time to teach the design of electrical machines. Special tools based on FEM can help them in this task. For the past years, such tools needing sophisticated environments have been realized for designers in industry. Assuming minimum equipment, requirements and guidelines for the realization of a specific tool are presented
