“…The polar area for the spoke-type is considered equal to the one for surface mounted magnets with full pole-pitch. To achieve this, the magnet thickness for the spoke type is obtained by (5). Also, in order to avoid demagnetization, the magnet width is twice the value obtained in (1).…”

“…PeMSyn was released for download on SourceForge platform on 2019-06-14 without the armature and saturation effects assessment and without the Spoke-type machine design implemented. It was introduced in the form of a conference paper in December of 2019 in COBEP [5]. As shown on Figure 17 PeMSyn has been downloaded in many countries around the world.…”

This paper introduces PeMSyn, a free tool intended to aid the design and simulation processes of permanent magnet synchronous machines. Using PeM-Syn, one can effortlessly design a permanent magnet synchronous machine, design its winding distribution and assess the machine performance. The machine performance is evaluated by means of FEA since PeMSyn provides an interaction between Matlab and FEMM. Thus, several machine parameters can be obtained. Another interesting characteristic of PeMSyn is its modularity, which means that each functionality can be run independently and new functionalities and machine topologies can be added either by the user or by means of a new PeMSyn update. Aiming to be simple and user-friendly, PeMSyn was coded in Matlab language in form of a graphical user interface (GUI). Moreover, users can easily translate all labels and variable names to their mother language using a language description file already available in English and Portuguese. The modules, the machine design process, the equations involved and an application are shown in this paper. In order to present guidelines on how to use PeMSyn, an example of machine design is proposed and its performance is assessed.

“…The presented simulation tool is based on MATLAB functions that are coupled with FEMM and structured regarding their corresponding tasks. Similar programs (Bonneel et al, 2018;de Andrade et al, 2019;Kuptsov et al, 2019) and libraries (Lehikoinen et al, 2018) have been created before, but they either do not offer as many options as the presented tool or are not as accessible for beginners. The machine geometry is fully parametrized using MATLAB scripts.…”

Purpose This paper aims to present an interactive design and simulation tool for permanent magnet synchronous machines based on the finite-element-method. The tool is intended for education and research on electrical machines. Design/methodology/approach A coupling between the software MATLAB and finite element method magnetics is used. Several functionalities are included as modular scripts and represented in the form of a graphical user interface. Included are fully parametrized motor models, automatic winding generations and the evaluation of torque waveforms, core losses and speed-torque-diagrams. A survey was conducted to determine how the motivation of students concerning the covered topics is influenced by using the tool. Findings Due to its simplicity and the intuitive visualization of the results, the tool provides direct access to the topic of electrical machines without having to deal with separate scripts. The modular structure of the software allows simple extensions with new functions. Because students can directly contribute to the tool with their own work, their motivation for using and extending it increases. Originality/value The presented tool offers more functionalities compared to similar free software packages, e.g. the calculation of core losses and speed-torque diagrams. Also, it is designed in such a way that it can be easily understood and extended by students.
