TOMSK, Aug 8 – RIA Tomsk. Student of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) Ivan Kremlev develops
software for design of electrical machines and mechatronic modules, which, in
particular, will allow to select optimum material for a product and also will
be more convenient and cheaper than import analogs, the press service of the
university reports on Tuesday.
It is noted that the idea to create the software came from Kremlev and his
research supervisor Sergey Leonov after studying of foreign analogs. It became
clear that there is a number of technical difficulties at their application,
and cost of import software is high for small innovative enterprises and design
institutes.
"Our software is intended for simulation of three-dimensional
stationary magnetic fields and synthesis of highly effective magnetic systems.
In simple terms, an engineer will be able to calculate with its help how it is
most practical and favorable to create the electrical machine or the
mechatronic module", – Kremlev is quoted in the message.

It is explained that electrical machine is an electromechanical converter
of energy. Mechanical energy will be transformed to electricity or on the
contrary with its help. It is supposed that an engineer will import a 3D model
of an electric motor to the program developed by polytechnics.
"Then the program will simulate the electromagnetic field which will
arise in this product when using a material, and will show that if certain
details of this engine consist, say, of iron, this field will be one and if of
aluminum, it will be another, and if of copper – the third. The program will
show what material gives to the electrical machine bigger productivity and
why", – it is said in the statement.
It is specified that the Tomsk software will allow not to overpay for an
expensive one, but inefficient material and will increase quality of operation
of the machine and will become more convenient and cheap alternative to import
analogs. Kremlev's development was included into the list of the best at the
competition "Umnik" of Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative
Enterprises in Science and Technology.
