Abstract:

A multi software based multi physics simulation method for automotive motors under variable operating conditions was proposed. By combining finite element and lumped parameter methods, both finite element and variable operating condition simulations can be carried out simultaneously, making the simulation process closer to the actual working process. On the basis of analyzing the temperature field and electromagnetic field of the motor, a mathematical model coupling multiple physical fields was decomposed. A multi software joint simulation model was established using Maxwell Simplorer Simulink, and the finite element model was reduced using the equivalent current extraction method, greatly improving the computational speed of the model. The joint simulation model is a fully coupled model that can achieve data exchange and transmission between different software models, thereby realizing transient simulation of the motor under different operating conditions. By using the joint simulation method, synchronous simulations of multiple physical fields can be obtained simultaneously, enabling real-time data exchange of the joint simulation model and avoiding errors caused by asynchronous simulation of non fully coupled models. Finally, the output torque of the motor was verified through experiments, and the torque error between the model and the experiment was less than 3%, proving the effectiveness and accuracy of the multi field coupled multi software joint simulation method.

Key words: vehicle engineering, multi-physics coupling, equivalent current extraction method, joint simulation method
