Investigations on Finite Element Analysis of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Using ANSYS RMxprt and Maxwell for Electric Vehicle Applications

As the current scenario of research is on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) which play a vital role in Electric Vehicles (EV). This paper emphasize on 2.2 kW PMSM suitable for EV applications. The machine geometry is constructed in RMxpert based on the theoretical calculations and validated. The performance of the validated machine has been simulated and the results are presented. Further Finite Element Analysis of PMSM is carried out using ANSYS Maxwell 2D and the flux distribution in stator and permanent magnet has been presented and analyzed. The machine performance under loaded condition is analyzed for enhancement.
