EMS from EMWorks Inc., is a 3D FEM simulation software, is used in this article to analyze the rotary eddy current brakes. EMS couples electromagnetic
solution with mechanical analysis to compute the following results: magnetic flux, generated eddy currents, produced braking torque, eddy losses
in the rotating disk, angular displacement and velocity, etc.
During the simulation, two analyses will be performed:
- Transient mechanical response is not considered. Torque versus time will be computed while the disk is rotating with a constant speed.
- Transient mechanical response is studied. Torque versus time will be computed after applying an initial velocity to the rotating disk.
