I want to do a study comparation of PMSM and BLDC Motor. I want to analyze the cost efficiency if BLDC were subtitute to PMSM. Where should i start? what kind of data that i need?

This sounds kind of meaningless without a careful definition of the application. Each of these motors is the best choice for something, yet they are not the same. I doubt you'll get much guidance here without a more detailed description of the constraints in your analysis.

So, the first step is to ask a good question, not of us, but for yourself. What do you need the motor to do? Why? What would a PMSM solution be? What would a BLDC solution look like? How do they compare?

Due to the application, you can use different excitation model and magnet shapes to have BLDC or PMSM ( sinusoidal or trapezoidal back EMF)
I had a similar project and I used a simulation software to compare the output parameters and material usage. It was easy to use for me as an amateur. You may find it useful to test EMWorks studio or [Redacted by the Mentors]. No need to have deep knowledge in finite element to use them.

There are some useful textbooks about PMSM machines, I used Dr.Hendershot book and videos to learn the basics of these machines.
