Electromechanical Components and Systems
• Component Analysis
− Look at component alone
− Motors, actuators, coils, ...
− Usually by field simulation or analytical
models (e.g. Maxwell)
− Distributed parameters – geometry,
materials, boundaries, sources
• System Analysis
− Look at interactions of components
− Drives, converters, motors, coils, resistors, ...
− Usually by system/circuit simulation or
analytical models (Simplorer)
− Lumped parameters – behavioral component
models
