Popis: Electrification to reduce greenhouse effect gases in transport sector is now well-known as a relevant and future solution studied intensively by the whole actors of the domain. To reach this objective, a tool for design and characterization of electric machines has been developed at IFP Energies nouvelles. This tool, called EMTool, is based on physical equations and is integrated to a complete workflow of simulation tools, as Finite Element Models or System Simulation. This tool offers the possibility to study several types of electric machine topologies: permanent magnet synchronous machine with radial or axial flux, induction machines, etc. This paper presents the main principles of design and the main equations integrated in the EMTool, the methods to evaluate electric machine performances and the validations performed on existing machine. Finally, the position of the EMTool in the simulation tool workflow and application examples are presented, notably by coupling the EMTool with advanced optimization algorithms or finite element models.
