Abstract :
During the optimization of electrical equipment, the power loss density generated by electrical currents, and the temperature rise due to the generated heat, must be analyzed as a coupled model. The electrical heat-generation is a function of the current distribution in conductors, which depends on resistivity values, which is a temperature-dependent property. A magneto-thermal coupled simulation is proposed, coupling specialized codes to simulate each physics
