Since 2006, the Advanced Electrical Equipment Modeling Laboratory has brought together the Modeling team from the L2EP laboratory (Electrical Engineering and Power Electronics Laboratory)Arts et Métiers the Electromagnetism Modeling team from EDF R&D. Together, they are developing the Carmel code (Advanced Code for Research in Electromagnetic Modeling), an innovation from the L2EP laboratory.
Currently, two versions of the code are available:
- The first, which deals with magneto-harmonic problems, is mainly dedicated to non-destructive testing (NDT).
- The second solves quasi-static electromagnetic problems and is used to model electrical machines.
Both are based on solving potential formulations (vectors and scalars) using the finite element method. Here are some examples of applications: non-destructive testing using eddy currents, alternators, magneto-mechanical coupling of an alternator, asynchronous machines, claw-pole alternators, etc.
