eMach

An open source framework for electric machine optimization and evaluation. A detailed documentation of this code base attributes and capabilities is available here. A broad overview of the repository is provided below.

Optimization Workflow

The eMach optimization workflow has been developed to make electric machine design and optimization flexible, modular, and easily extensible. A flowchart showing a broad view of the workflow is provided below. More information of each block illustrated in this workflow is available here.

Structure of Optimization

At the Severson research group, we are particularly interested in the design and optimization of bearingless electric machines. An expanded view of the Machine Evaluator for the optimization of these machines is shown below. The evaluator will be modified for each optimization based on
