Optimizing Magnetic Transmission Designs with COMSOL®
Duration: 1:00:59
In this archived webinar, learn about designing magnetic transmissions using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Guest speaker Flemming Buus Bendixen of Sintex discusses optimizing magnetic transmission designs, accounting for the effect of the geometric dimensions (like the air gap between permanent magnets), operating environment, power losses, critical temperature, and more. He also demonstrates modeling a magnetic coupling, going over the simulation results for the losses, maximum torque, and temperature distribution.
