Modeling Electric Motors and Drivetrains - Archived

There has been an exponential increase in the demand for electric vehicles, with hybrid and electric cars expected to account for a considerable portion of car sales in the near future. Designing efficient motors is critical for increasing range, reducing battery capacity requirements, and improving power density and costs. To accomplish such design, using multiphysics modeling and simulation is essential. COMSOL Multiphysics® and the add-on AC/DC Module and Battery Design Module provide various features for modeling different types of electric motors and drivetrain components. The software has the capability to capture the multiple interacting physics involved in motors, such as electromagnetics, thermal effects, fluid mechanics, and structural mechanics. COMSOL Multiphysics® also offers powerful optimization techniques that help to accelerate product development time.

We invite you to watch this webinar. You will learn more about these topics and see how COMSOL Multiphysics® can be used in electric motor and drivetrain R&D.
