Abstract | ||
This paper presents design optimization, and transient-state analysis of active magnetic bearings (AMB) using the powerful ANSYS software package. ANSYS software provides the required environment for numerical modeling and analysis based on the finite element method (FEM). In this paper two programs are developed in ANSYS, the first for modeling and optimizing the analytically designed active magnetic bearing, and the second for transient-state analysis of the FE model to investigate the effects of eddy currents on the considered active magnetic bearing. | ||
