Mastering AC Loss Calculation

4 Materials

Part 1. Winding Models: Lumped vs. Full

Last Updated: July 17, 2026

Note. The Lumped and Full winding models described in this article apply to MotorXP-AFM 2.0 and later. In earlier versions the winding representation options differ. Introduction The Lumped and Full winding parameters define how the conductors inside a stator slot are represented when the geometry is generated. This single choice drives model complexity, computational cost, and...

Part 2. Calculating AC Losses Using Dynamic FEA and a Sinusoidal Current Source: Step-by-Step Guide

Last Updated: July 17, 2026

Note. The workflow described in this article applies to MotorXP-AFM 2.0 and later. In earlier versions the winding representation options and the analysis workflow differ. Before you start. This article assumes you are familiar with the Lumped and Full winding models. If you are not, we recommend reading Part 1 — Winding Models: Lumped vs. Full first....

Part 3. Comparing the four cases: Magnetostatic and Dynamic FEA with the Lumped and Full winding models

Last Updated: July 9, 2026

Note. The workflow described in this article applies to MotorXP-AFM 2.0 and later. In earlier versions the winding representation options and the analysis workflow differ. Before you start. This article continues Part 2 — Calculating AC Losses with Dynamic FEA. We recommend reading it first. Introduction This section compares the results of four runs — Magnetostatic FEA...
