Two-Pole Three-Phase Induction Motor
Application ID: 58411
This model illustrates how to compute the torque of a three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor at various speeds.
In the example the torque is computed by averaging the results from simulations performed on 2D cross sections at several locations along the induction motor.
The 3D geometry and selections, which are used for the physics settings, are transferred from PTC Creo Parametric™ with the use of the LiveLink™ interface. By defining a cutting plane in the 3D geometry, the 2D geometry for the simulation is generated in COMSOL Multiphysics® by the Cross Section operation that also retains the selections defined in 3D.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
