Abstract :
The paper has shown the development of a generic model for the thermal analysis of stator geometries that when base lined against a standard thermal analysis program has shown similar accuracy and reduced computational time. This paper has also shown a technique for transforming typical stator geometries to a simplified geometry in polar coordinates.
