Axiperiodic finite element analysis of generator end regions. II. Application

For pt.I see ibid., vol.25, no.4, p.3067-8 (1989). A method for axiperiodic finite-element analysis is applied to representative generator model. The axiperiodic analysis technique can be used to calculate some three-dimensional effects without going to a fully three-dimensional model. A description is given of the software package developed, which makes it easier for the designer to create models, transfer results from one analysis to the next, and examine the results after the analysis is complete.<>
