Abstract :
We have developed a new three-dimensional (3-D) finite-element mesh modification method for skewed motors. In our method, the auto-mesh generator is used for only creating the initial mesh, and the computational cost is very small. In this paper, the method is investigated and is applied to the 3-D magnetic field analysis of a skewed squirrel-cage induction motor.
