Abstract: Electrical Machines present an
interesting challenge in Finite Element Analysis. Electromagnetic behavior,
Computational Fluid Dynamics, Heat transfer and Mechanical Analysis must be
taken into account in order to have an overall understanding of the machine’s
operation. This work shows the Multiphysics modeling of a 71,9MVA Synchronous Generator
which presented overheating and how was the solution as well as the computational
method employed. It is shown how all related physical phenomenon must be involved
and how to do it efficiently with the Simplified Virtual Laboratory (SVL)
method.
