Abstract

This paper describes finite element techniques that reduce the computational cost of the 3D transient thermal analysis. Based on those techniques a finite element package is assembled. The package is used for the transient thermal analysis, under different load conditions and ambient temperatures, of a surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor for aerospace actuation applications. Its validity is verified by measurements carried out in a thermal chamber.
