“…For instance, FEA has a high fidelity but entails a high computational burden. In contrast, analytical or equivalent circuit approaches have moderate computational effort but offer lower fidelity [64]. Nevertheless, in case of difficult structures, complex field distributions and nonlinearities, analytical models may fail to predict electromagnetic variables or are not accurate enough, necessitating the use of FEA despite the computational demands [47,65].…”

“…The method described in [73] is comparable but incorporates a MEC for achieving a low fidelity and low computational effort. In [64], all three fidelity levels are combined. The analytical model is used for a pre-optimized design to filter out weak options.…”

“…Some authors intentionally keep their MDDA approach general, i.e., they do not refer specifically to one machine type. These papers thus claim that their approach can be applied to different types of electric motors [47,52,64,90]. One prerequisite for a general MDDA approach is, according to [47], to build the MDDA based on modular submodels, so that each can be replaced for the calculation of different machine types.…”

“…Therefore, MDDA processes should be adaptable to different process stages. Comparable multi-fidelity approaches have been presented in [64,73]. Consequently, in a systematic MDDA setup approach, the analysis model decision should be based on an analysis of the application and the process stage.…”

Electric motor development is a challenging task, as higher efficiency requirements and various interdependencies between different engineering domains must be considered. Established design approaches often lack the ability to address these interdependencies because they focus on specific domains and properties. Automated, multidisciplinary design approaches hold untapped potential for optimizing motors in terms of diverse requirements and advancing the development of more efficient and reliable motors. This paper presents a systematic literature review of the current state of research in the multidisciplinary design automation of electric motors. The literature basis comprises 1005 publications that are identified by a systematic internet search. The review of the existing approaches is based on twelve criteria that characterize the design automation task in general, such as knowledge representation or reasoning methods used, as well as criteria specific to electric motor design, such as domains considered and their coupling. The analysis reveals what current approaches are lacking: Consequent analysis and integration of domains, applicability of suggested methods, incorporation of established multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) architectures, alongside the consideration of passive components in the motor. Aside from the introduction of twelve criteria for systematic charaterization of multidisciplinary design automation of electric motors, this article expands the state of the art by proposing an initial framework to establish process chains tackling the identified gaps in the review.
