SimLab Tutorial: MAC 3D Induction Motor
Description
In this application case, a 3D induction motor is modeled and analyzed with SimLab.
This study is a parametrized magneto-harmonic analysis with values of rotor slip in order to evaluate the motor characteristics for rated load operation and display torque and current versus slip curves.
The motor meshing part has been updated by using the extrusive meshing option with the enhanced EM Mesh tool.
Geometry import and meshing
After importing the provided motor 3D CAD file (*.xmt_txt format), SimLab's EM Mesh tool can easily generate an extrusive mesh suitable for the 3D motor analysis.
Study 1: Basic steady-state analysis
As shown in the figure below, after setting up all the required LBCs, non-meshed coils and the coupling circuit, the configuration of basic steady-state solution is completed.
Post-processing: current vector visualization in the squirrel cage.
Study 2: Torque-speed characteristic
The previous basic steady-state solution can be further connected with a DoE solution in SimLab to run parameter sweeps.
The Torque v.s. SLIP curve can be obtained after setting the scanning parameter to SLIP
Example access
All files corresponding to this example are accessible in the following link: Tutorial package.
Example: After installing the SimLab 2025 release, you can find the latest Tuto_2024.zip package. This means that the tutorial has not been updated since 2024 release, that the tutorial does not need to be updated, and that the tutorial still works in 2024.1 release and 2025 release.
