Abstract

Finite element method (FEM) is a very powerful tool for the calculation of magnetic field of electromagnetic devices. MATLAB/Simulink is also well known as a very useful tool for control systems. This paper proposes a very promising method, where the FEM is coupled with MATLAB. We apply this method to analyze a permanent magnet (PM) motor drive system, and compare with results using MATLAB only.
