One of the major problems in motor design is controlling vibration and noise. JMAG provides a module for vibration analysis. Displacement and stress can be determined using a structural analysis based on the nodal force calculated from a magnetic field analysis.

This example shows the vibration analysis of a permanent magnet motor. The load curve for the vibration frequency response analysis is created using a frequency analysis at each node with the time series data (See Figure 1) obtained from magnetic field calculations (See Figure 2). JMAG performs this conversion automatically. JMAG can also perform an eigenmode analysis. Figure 3 shows the results. The frequency response of the displacement of the stator surface, which is obtained from the frequency response analysis conducted using the results and the above load curve, is shown in Figure 4.
