The TDM method by Ansys is reported to speed-up time-stepping computations by up to 6000 %. Read my idea on how it might work.
Don’t Miss out on These Resources: Enterfea and Peterlyu
Is your knowledge on nonlinear structural analysis and steel structures lacking? Don’t be ashamed, mine certainly is. Check out this cool resource.
Animation: Eddy Current Losses in a Stranded Winding
Animated eddy current densities in the stranded winding of an electrical machines. Rarely seen in public – read the post for more details!
Faster Analysis of Eddy-Current Problems: Impulse Response Method
Eddy current problems are usually linear and time-invariant. Thus, they can be fully modelled with their impulse response function.
Infographic on Finite Element Analysis
Infographics are awesome. Everybody loves them. Here’s an infographic on finite element analysis, which’s gotta be even cooler.
FEAforAll – What It Is and Why You Should Care
I found another blog about finite element analysis called FEAforAll.com. It’s a nice resource on structural mechanics – check it out.
How to Mesh a Stranded Winding
A stranded winding can be analysed with FEM, but it has to be meshed first. Here’s how to pack conductors in a slot for a good-quality mesh.
Why Equivalent Circuits for Electrical Machines Work
Equivalent circuits for electrical machines do yield correct torque estimates. They use the Lorentz force, but not in a way you’d expect.
ICEM 2016 Report
Last week, I took part in the ICEM 2016 conference in Lausanne, Switzerland. Here’s a brief report of what went down during those awesome days.
Why Bother with the Vector Potential
The vector potential is commonly used in finite element analysis of magnetic problems. But why don’t we just solve the field directly?
