Purpose of the study subject is centered towards new calculation methods and
methodology of the project at the power current electrotechnics specialized to
the electric machines and devices. On the particular examples are the students
apprised of creation of physical model, of entering important material
properties and specific boundary conditions, of solution, of processing of
caltulated data and their interpretation for a practical assimilation. These
calculations are realized through the Method of Finite Elements (FEM ) aided
by software equipment ANSYS.
