Intended learning outcomes
Objectives and Specific Abilities:
- Calculation and design of electrical machines through the finite elements method using computational tools;
- Make possible the magnetic field analysis in detail, allowing in this way a new approach to the electrical machines theory;
- Supply to the students a set of problems to achieve the visual magnetic field behaviour. Knowledge delivered on the learning process in Electrical Machines Design:
- Basics of Maxwell's equations; basic elements on the finite element method (FEM);
- FEM modelling of some examples: transformer, DC machine, synchronous machine, induction machine and other electromagnetic devices;
- Theory and application of finite element analysis, static and dynamic to electrical machines as electromagnetic and electromechanical systems;
- Use of computational tools such as FEMM and ANSYS.
