Cogging Torque reduction in Surface-Mounted Permanent Magnet Motors

In this application note, the cogging torque of a Surface-Mounted PMSM in [1] is computed and validated using EMWorks2D software inside SOLIDWORKS. Then, the impact of PMs’ segmentation on the cogging torque is investigated using the “multi-configuration” feature of SOLIDWORKS. More Details

RF Heating of Dry Food Products

HFWorks allows to simulate the RF heating process of a dry food sample in a 6 kW parallel plates RF system at 27.12MHz frequency. This study is attempting to quantify the effects of dielectric properties of a surrounding food container for a high-rate food heating.

The studied model is formed by an RF cavity chamber limited by two parallel Aluminum electrodes. A polystyrene sheet deposed on the bottom electrode and supporting another Polystyrene container which is containing a three Soybean flour layers to be RF heated. An S-Parameters study of HFWorks coupled to the thermal solver will be used to predict the electric field intensity and temperature distribution in the Soybean flour material. More Details
