Permanent Magnet Motor Modeling Kaila Krieser, EE Dan Montgomery, EE Craig Christofferson, EE Mark Wisted, EE
Problem Objective • The team will select, use and assess an electromagnetic modeling software tool to simulate Permanent Magnet Motor operation in variable magnet and environmental configurations. • Key Steps: • Research and selection of tool • Research and selection of PMM • Modeling Execution • Experimental Validation
Software Considerations • Cost • Availability • Usability • Pre-constructed CAD File • Software Measurement Parameters • Electrical power consumption • Torque • Efficiency • Stretch Goal: Temperature and material variation
Motor Considerations • Cost • Availability • Size • Magnetic Material • Pre-constructed CAD File Availability • Measurement Equipment Availability • Electrical power consumption • Torque • Efficiency
Constraints • Cost • Budget of $1000 for software and motor. • Time • Matching PMM and Software, CAD File • Modeling Tool Training
Deliverables • Software Evaluation Report • Software Overview • Software Usability • Demonstration of CAD simulation • Evaluation of PMM testing • Validation of simulation results
Risks • Change in client expectations • Lack of testing resources • Lack of expertise
Cost Estimate • Software • Variable from $0 to $500 depending on licensing • PMM • Variable from $0 to $500 • Labor • 900 hours at $20 per hour, $18,000 • Total • $18,000-$19,000
