Abstract
This paper presents design optimization, and transient-state analysis of
active magnetic bearings (AMB) using the powerful ANSYS software package.
ANSYS software provides the required environment for numerical modeling and
analysis based on the finite element method (FEM). In this paper two programs
are developed in ANSYS, the first for modeling and optimizing the analytically
designed active magnetic bearing, and the second for transient-state analysis of the
FE model to investigate the effects of eddy currents on the considered active
magnetic bearing.
