Invented in the 1800s. Optimised for today.
Visualisation of the von Mises stress distribution in the housing of
an induction motor by accounting for electromechanical effects.
In the 19th century, two scientists separately invented the AC
induction motor. Today, it’s a common component in robotics.
How did we get here and how can modern-day engineers
continue to improve the design?
The COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used for simulating
designs, devices, and processes in all fields of engineering,
manufacturing, and scientific research. See how you can apply
it to robotics design.
