Abstract :
Despite worldwide efforts and many recent advances, electrical machine modeling using finite elements can be computationally very expensive, especially if three-dimensional models are required. This contribution is concerned with speeding up the process. Some examples of line start permanent magnet machines and induction motors are provided.
