General
The magnetization of the IPM motor (interior permanent magnet motor) is analyzed.
The analysis takes the following two steps.
Magnetization Analysis
A magnetization current is applied to the magnet.
Analysis Using Magnetization Results
The magnetization results give by step 1 are set to the magnet to analyze the motor torque.
The magnetization ratio, the magnetization distribution, the torque, and the magnetic flux density distribution are solved.
The homogenizing method is applied to simulate the layer structure of the electromagnetic plates of steel for the core.
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.
In this example, a quarter period symmetric model is used for faster calculation.

The transient analysis tab is set as follows.
The intensity of the magnetic field is obtained for each timestep. At some timestep, the intensity drops. The magnetization field is determined by the intensity of the magnetic field at a timestep just before it drops.
The timestep setting does not affect the result as the constant current is used in this example.
The same result will be obtained if the timestep setting is switched to [steady-state analysis].
In order to take the induced current into account, input waveform has to be of the magnetization current instead of the constant current.

A rotor core and magnet are placed in the center. A stator and coils are placed around them.
The motor has 4 poles and 24 slots.
The magnetization current is set to the coils I1,I2,I3, and I4.
This is a 2D model analysis.
By utilizing the symmetry, the model is quarter period symmetric.
Rotation period boundary (symmetric) is set.

There are two steps of analysis as follows.
Magnetization Analysis
A magnetization current is applied to the magnet.

The magnetization results give by step 1 are set to the magnet to analyze the motor torque.
The results of 1 are shown below. (The results of the analysis model [Magnetization analysis].)
The magnetization distribution with the magnetization current (variable “current”) of 100 to 1900 [A] is shown below.
The magnetization is almost fully achieved at 1900 [A].
