The objective of this work is to describe some numerical tools developed to
perform the thermoelectric simulation of electric machines. From the electromagnetic
point of view, we will focus on the computation of nonlinear 2D transient magnetic fields
where the data concerning the electric current sources involve potential drops excitations.
From the thermal point of view, once the electromagnetic losses are known, we will show
an application of a Galerkin lumped parameter method (GLPM) to simulate the thermal
behavior of an electric motor. The proposed methods are applied to the simulation of a
permanent magnet synchronous electric motor
