4 Materials

Part 1. PCB Winding Models: Lumped vs. Full

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. Introduction The Lumped and Full winding parameters determine how the copper tracks are represented by the printed circuit board (PCB) stator geometry script. The selected representation affects the generated 3D geometry,...

Last Updated: July 17, 2026

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

Part 3. Comparing Four Cases: Magnetostatic and Dynamic FEA with Lumped and Full PCB Winding Models

Last Updated: July 17, 2026

Note. The workflow and comparison described in this article apply to MotorXP-AFM 2.0 and later. In earlier versions the PCB 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 article compares four simulations of the same...
