サイエンスソリューションズ List of Products and Services

Tracing back to the foundations of a wide range of technologies is something that we cannot accomplish on our own. Therefore, we create optimal solutions through partnerships with universities, research institutes, and companies both inside and outside the organization.

In motor design, the complexity of initial setup and the limited number of trials become a bottleneck for productivity. eMotorSolution completes modeling in just a few minutes with its shape template and winding setting features. The built-in high-speed 2D analysis (EMSolution Lite) allows for rapid iteration of parameter studies. Results are immediately visualized as magnetic flux lines, contours, vectors, and waveforms, and can be smoothly integrated into existing design flows through dxf/CATIA compatibility and Python support.

EMSOptimizer is an optimization framework that provides elements of optimization calculations (objectives, evaluation functions, constraints, and search methods) as classes, allowing for flexible combination through inheritance and implementation in Python. Designed with the premise of introducing OSS optimization libraries, it enables direct application of the latest methods for A/B comparisons and custom improvements in practical work. It integrates shape optimization using the NGnet method and parameter optimization in collaboration with eMotorSolution within the same workflow, balancing research speed and implementation speed. It offers engineers and researchers with experience in optimization and Python the freedom to "immediately apply the latest OSS methods to real-world problems."

Electromagnetic field analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool for motor design and development, capable of considering magnetic saturation and dq-axis interference. Permanent magnet (PM) motors are typically driven by control circuits, and fast coupled analysis is required. At our company, we leverage the high speed and accuracy of EMSolution to create behavior models. By using behavior models based on FEA results, we can simulate behaviors equivalent to those of actual machines. Additionally, control coupled analysis often involves thousands to tens of thousands of steps, which can take several hours for direct coupled analysis with FEA. However, using behavior models reduces the computation time to just a few seconds. 【Features】 ■ Behavior model based on chain magnetic flux ■ Accurate reproduction of magnetic saturation, dq-axis interference, and slot harmonics ■ Enables fast analysis by using as motor elements in control circuit simulators like MATLAB/Simulink, or as nonlinear elements within control circuits *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Does dq-axis interference affect motor operation? As a standalone motor, it has characteristics that can be considered its individuality, generating torque in response to applied three-phase voltage and operating accordingly. Rather, the issue lies in how to determine the parameters of the control circuit that commands the operation. Generally, IPMSMs are controlled with d-axis and q-axis inductance and magnetic flux as constants in the dq-axis coordinate system. In cases like the D1 model, where there is a strong dependence on current and current phase angle, it may be challenging to decide which current value and current phase angle to use as control parameters. Care is needed when trying to operate efficiently or to control in a way that prevents irreversible demagnetization of the permanent magnets.
