Presentation: Artificial intelligence surrogate model for electromagnetic device simulation
Electromagnetic field numerical simulation technology has become an essential tool in the design of electromagnetic devices. The advantage of numerical calculation is high accuracy, but the disadvantage is long computing time. Especially for three-dimensional electromagnetic field problems, it often requires solving algebraic equations with hundreds of thousands or even millions of unknowns, greatly limiting the application of numerical methods. This report introduces our research group's use of artificial intelligence method to develop surrogate models for commonly used electric motors in electromagnetic devices. This method has gradually been applied in the optimization design and control of electric motors, greatly saving computation time.
