Permanent Magnet Generator

This tutorial shows how to model the tubular permanent magnet generator in 2D axisymmetry. The generator consists of a modular stationary stator and movingoscillating slider. The stator is made of three-phase multiturn windings and an iron core. The slider is made of permanent magnets and iron spacers. The open circuit voltage in the three-phase stator windings due to the periodic motion of the slider is calculated.The model is set up using the Magnetic Fields and Moving Mesh physics interfaces. The linear periodicity of the tubular generator is set up manually using the General Extrusion feature.
