Multidisciplinary analysis of electromechanical actuator based on FEM - circuit simulator coupling

Abstract

Design of an electromechanical system is multidisciplinary and so is its simulation. In this paper the three different types of co-simulation are compared and the output waveforms are presented. The co-simulation is realized between two different programs (power electronic circuit simulator ¿ control part and finite element analysis ¿ magnetic and mechanic model part). The simulations were realized for an electromechanical actuator fuel injection system. The output waveforms for coil current, forces, inductances and position are compared.
