Helping Fellow Cogs with Cogging Torque

When designing a permanent magnet machine, one of the most fundamental—and difficult—goals is to reduce the cogging torque curve. The challenge in reducing the cogging torque is to also decrease the numerical noise generated by the mesh. Finite element analyses and the advanced meshing functionality that is available through Abaqus/CAE allows for a faster and more accurate prototype.

Open the attached .pdf to learn how the Cogging Torque Analysis of Permanent Magnet Machines using Abaqus/Standard can be used to analyze reduction of cogging torque through meshing.
