Design and Simulation of a Servo-Drive Motor Using ANSYS Electromagnetics

Abstract

The paper is devoted to determining the output parameters of a servomotor, which belongs to synchronous machines with permanent magnets, in order to further determine the characteristics of transient modes in the software package ANSYS Electromagnetics. RMxprt, part of ANSYS Electromagnetics, allows to determine the parameters of windings, losses, motor performance, but requires filling out a form with a complete set of geometric dimensions and winding data. Of course, such data are not available in the motor data sheet, so the first task solved in the paper is to determine all the necessary and sufficient parameters to perform the calculation in RMxprt. The results of the calculations were compared with the measurements on the experimental servomotor EMG-10APA22. This paper shows how to export a servomotor object from RMxprt to the Simplorer workspace, which is also part of the ANSYS Electromagnetics. According to the simulation results in ANSYS Simplorer, the characteristics of the transient modes of the servomotor powered by a stable three-phase source are obtained. Prospects for further research related to the improvement of the simulation model in ANSYS Simplorer are presented.
