A stranded winding can be analysed with FEM, but it has to be meshed first. Here’s how to pack conductors in a slot for a good-quality mesh.

Today’s topics: an awesome cheesecake recipe, why I don’t go around selling them despite the huge demand, plus some basic-okay fitness chow.
Equivalent circuits for electrical machines do yield correct torque estimates. They use the Lorentz force, but not in a way you’d expect.
Last week, I took part in the ICEM 2016 conference in Lausanne, Switzerland. Here’s a brief report of what went down during those awesome days.
The vector potential is commonly used in finite element analysis of magnetic problems. But why don’t we just solve the field directly?
