A new site: www.motor-design-software.com, from Cobham Technical Services, helps engineers understand the contribution that finite element analysis (FEA) software can make to motor design cycle efficiency and design optimization. It provides a  engineers with a multi-faceted view of the ways electromagnetic FEA software can be used to design motors. Users can explore the underlying tools, looking at aspects such as the creation of design models or analysis of simulation results. They can also investigate the automated design approach for different types of design, by selecting a specific form of motor or related electromagnetic design topics such as magnetic gearing and linear motion. 

A range of interesting research material is available on the site including technical papers and details of training courses. Users may also register for a webinar on rotating machine design.
