I used Electromagnetic Simulation (EMS) to investigate the electromagnetic behaviour of Axial Flux-Segmented Rotor-Switched Reluctance Motors (AFSSRMs). A three-dimensional finite element model is developed in SolidWorks. As the EMS is a Gold Certified add-in to SolidWorks, there is no technical boundary in between, enabling me to conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the model and complete the project on time.
In terms of the setup of the simulation in EMS, the installation instructions are easy to follow, the project tree follows a logical order, and the model parameters can be alternated easily. After each simulation, the result can be saved automatically, and different section views allow the user can analyse simulation results more comprehensively. Results from different studies can be compared, and a range of variables can be plotted. Those plots can be exported to Word documents or saved locally with high resolution.
Engineer experts from EMWorks are friendly and helpful, and they fix many simulation issues. There are plenty of learning resources available on YouTube/Webinars. The tutorial about switched reluctance machines is extremely helpful in building the simulation. The individual project is completed on time with high quality. I appreciate all the help and support from EMWorks, and I will recommend EMS to colleagues who investigate motor behaviours.
