Simulating a Generator in 2D
In this model, a rotor with permanent magnets and a nonlinear magnetic material rotates within a stator of the same magnetic material.The generated voltage in windings around the stator is calculated as a function of time. COMSOL Multiphysics models the rotation with assemblies and identity pairs, using a prescribed rotation coordinate transform in the Moving Mesh application mode.
The nonlinearity of the magnetic material is also considered using an interpolating function.
