Axial flux motor core loss model simulation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on simulating a 350W axial flux motor using Ansys Maxwell 3D, specifically addressing the challenge of calculating core and copper losses at operational frequencies of 500-600 Hz. The user has successfully obtained the Back Electromotive Force (BEMF) but requires assistance in extrapolating core loss data, which is only available at 50 and 60 Hz for the selected core material. The conversation highlights the need for methods to estimate losses at higher frequencies within the Ansys Maxwell 3D environment.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of axial flux motor design and operation
  • Familiarity with Ansys Maxwell 3D simulation software
  • Knowledge of core loss and copper loss concepts in electric motors
  • Basic principles of electromagnetic theory and frequency response
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for extrapolating core loss data for frequencies beyond 60 Hz in Ansys Maxwell 3D
  • Learn about the impact of frequency on core losses in electric motor materials
  • Explore techniques for calculating copper losses in axial flux motors
  • Investigate advanced simulation settings in Ansys Maxwell 3D for improved accuracy
USEFUL FOR

Students, electrical engineers, and researchers involved in electric motor design and simulation, particularly those focusing on axial flux motors and loss analysis in high-frequency applications.

Hello,
I'm a student, working on project related to electric motor. Currently I'm trying to simulate a 350W power axial flux motor on Ansys Maxwell 3D. Until now I have been able to get BEMF of motor, further I'm trying to find losses in motor like core losses & copper losses. The core loss data is only available at 50 & 60 Hz for the material I chose for core but the motor will be operating at 500-600 Hz. So can anyone help me out how should I proceed to get core losses & copper losses of motor in Ansys Maxwell 3D software.
