Simulating a Generator in 3D

Simulating a Generator in 3D

The generator analyzed in this model consists of a rotor with permanent magnets and a nonlinear magnetic material inside a stator of the same magnetic material. The model calculates the static magnetic fields inside and around the generator.

The nonlinearity of the magnetic material is modeled using an interpolating function.
