Abstract
Permanent magnet eddy current brakes offer an economic method for bringing a moving object to rest. The performance of a decelerating eddy current brake can be modelled by a time transient finite element scheme. However, this may be time consuming, especially in the early stages of design. It is shown here how an adequate simulation is possible using a few steady state (Minkowski) finite element solutions.
