Accelerating Industrial Finite Element Simulations of Electric Machines based on Runtime Analysis

The simulation of electric machines plays a significant role in the design of efficient and competitive products. Faster simulations reduce computational costs, such as CPU hours, and shorten development cycles, thereby enabling faster design iterations and ultimately accelerating time-to-market. In this work, we analyze the dominant computational bottlenecks and demonstrate how targeted acceleration measures can significantly reduce the overall runtime of 2D and 3D finite element simulations of electric machines in an industrial environment.
