Advanced numerical modeling of electric motors and power electronics components

Whether for climate change reasons or the recent geopolitical situation, the electrification of various sectors of the worldwide economy is taking place at an accelerating rate. The technologies needed for such evolution rely heavily on electric motors and power electronics devices that must offer higher performance while costing less and consuming less electricity. The development of these products is increasingly carried out through simulations that predict the product’s performance before it is built. Predicting such performance requires sophisticated software that can start with the 3-dimensional geometrical model of the product and simulate its electric, thermal and structural behavior in near real-world operating conditions. This project aims at providing such software by adding key capabilities to the partner’s existing commercial solutions.
