Abstract :
A description is given of ANTIC85, a powerful and user-friendly finite-element-based magnetic field analysis package. This program is used for the design and analysis of electromechanical devices for automotive applications. It is applicable to general two-dimensional and axisymmetric three-dimensional static and transient nonlinear magnetic field problems. The unique feature of this package is its ability to solve the coupled power-electronic, mechanical, and magnetic field problem for solenoid actuators. The theoretical basis and structure of this package are presented. Applications to a four-pole 3 kW permanent-magnet starter motor and a variable-reluctance-type speed sensor are shown
