Magneto-thermal Coupled Simulation in the Design of Electrical Equipment using Code Coupling Interface

Abstract

During the optimization of electrical equipment, the power loss density generated by electrical currents, and the temperature rise due to the generated heat, must be analyzed as a coupled model. The electrical heat-generation is a function of the current distribution in conductors, which depends on resistivity values, which is a temperature-dependent property. A magneto-thermal coupled simulation is proposed, coupling specialized codes to simulate each physics
