Multidisciplinary Optimal Design of Electric Machines Using Multimodeling Approach

The concept of multiphysics optimization is applied to the design of an electric motor. It combines finite elements and analytical models to form together a multiphysics model of the electric motor. The different models represent different machine phenomena as electromagnetic, thermal and vibro-acoustic. These models are strongly coupled through a constrained optimization process that imposes them to be simultaneously in accordance with the specifications
