Abstract :
This paper describes an efficient scheme for incorporating multiple wire wound coils into 3D finite element electric machine models. The scheme is based on the magnetic scaler representation with an additional basis for each coil. There are no restrictions on the topology of coils with respect to ferromagnetic and conductor regions. Reduced scaler regions and cuts are automatically generated
