Tesla

Tesla is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool for prototyping electrical machines.
Designers of electrical machines and drives need a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool during the design phase of an electrical machine in order to perform fast prototyping. Using the tool various prototypes of machines can be designed.
Tesla is a Rapid Application Development tool for fast prototyping of Induction, DC, Permanent Magnet, Universal, Synchronous and BLDC Machines. Using the tool the designer can enter geometric data, material data and mechanical data, and obtain the performance of the machine such as speed-power, speed-efficiency, and speed-torque characteristics. Also simulation models are generated for testing the prototype in a system simulator, where it is connected to the power electronics, driving mechanics and the control of the drive. Coupling to FEM/BEM tools is provided for a more detailed design of the machine where a magnetic, thermal and mechanical strength analysis can be performed. Optimization can be performed on the design of the machine or on the overall design of the drive system, where the machine is one of the components. The tool is based on the idea of a construction kit where basic designs of typical parts, such as rotor, fan, windings, magnetic material, bearings, rotor bars, etc, can be constructed that are manufacturer specific. Using such libraries of components, the user can prototype various variants of his design based on standard parts already designed. The calculation of the characteristics is done using analytical methods and dedicated numerical routines inside the Rapid Application Development tool and therefore the response to the user to a change in parameter is interactive. In the tool the complete magnetic circuit is analyzed, resulting in the characteristics of the machine. Here the non-linear material characteristics are used for the applied magnetic materials. Wire parameters are based on standards such as DIN, SEV, JASO, etc. For the geometric data the designer can mix SI and US metrics such as "inch" and "mm" in one design and couplings exists to popular CAD packages. Compared to lengthy Finite Element simulations the user is able to prototype a new type of electrical machine in a very fast way. Tesla is a new Rapid Application Development tool, designed for fast prototyping of electrical machines. Models from the prototype can be used in CAD-, Finite Element and Simulation software. The electromechanical characteristics are obtained using the tool and enable the designer to optimize the design in a short time and very cost efficient.
