Accelerating Industrial Finite Element Simulations of Electric Machines based on Runtime Analysis
For engineers designing electric machines, this work provides practical acceleration techniques to speed up finite element simulations, though the improvements are incremental and domain-specific.
The paper analyzes computational bottlenecks in industrial 2D and 3D finite element simulations of electric machines and demonstrates targeted acceleration measures that significantly reduce runtime, thereby shortening development cycles and reducing CPU hours.
The simulation of electric machines plays a significant role in the design of efficient and competitive products. Faster simulations reduce computational costs, such as CPU hours, and shorten development cycles, thereby enabling faster design iterations and ultimately accelerating time-to-market. In this work, we analyze the dominant computational bottlenecks and demonstrate how targeted acceleration measures can significantly reduce the overall runtime of 2D and 3D finite element simulations of electric machines in an industrial environment.
