High-Speed Magnet Eddy Current Calculation
Examining the eddy currents that occur in the magnets of motors has required a significant amount of time because analyses using a three-dimensional model has been required. The high-speed magnet loss calculation of rotation machines provides the fastest possible analysis.
Conventional methods to calculate the eddy current loss of magnets that require 8 hours can now be run in approximately 12 minutes.

Analysis Accounting for Permeability Distribution
The magnetic flux density distribution and flux lines that isolate the factors making up the phenomena can be evaluated by fixing the magnetic properties of materials in a specific state using the frozen permeability condition to analyze a model.

Demagnetization Calculation
Analysis is performed on how demagnetization due to reverse magnetic field and thermal demagnetization affect motor properties. Evaluate in detail phenomena such as local demagnetization caused by reverse magnetic fields and the differences in demagnetization resistance in the ends of a coercive force distribution magnet.
The magnetic flux density for magnets prior to demagnetization can be set as the standard to track the changes of magnetic flux density distribution as demagnetization ratio. By performing this analysis in combination with permanence coefficient distribution, magnets can be analyzed in great detail.

Time Periodic Explicit Error Correction
The time period explicit error correction method uses the temporal periodicity of the varying field in the magnetic field analysis. It shortens the transient period that occurs in a transient analysis, and forces the model into steady state operation in fewer time steps than if the model were allowed to achieve steady state operation on its own. This function is effective for models with an electric potential (voltage) source for circuits. It is also effective for models that require substantial analysis time (analysis steps) before reaching steady state. JMAG’s unique technology has been built into this function, so it can be applied to almost all problems with time varying fields.
As an example, an induction motor analysis could require up to 10 time periods before transitioning to steady state operation. If the goal is to observe steady state operation, then these 10 periods are not necessary. In this case, adopting the time period control method would facilitate a reduction in analysis by reducing the transient period.
It is possible to reduce analysis time even further by combining the time period method with the traditional approximate steady state method.

A second example of the time period method involves the analysis of a transformer for a switching power supply. In this case the capacitance of the secondary smoothing capacitor determines the system?fs time constant. This could lead to an extremely large time constant and thus a long analysis time before reaching steady state operation. By using the time period explicit error correction method, it is possible to considerably shorten the analysis time.
