This Master’s Thesis was developed at POWERTECH Engineering S.r.l. in a joint collaboration with Gamma Technologies LLC and GARRETT Motion France SAS. This research focused on conducting an exploratory and methodological study of an early release of a new software tool called GT-FEMAG. This tool was originally developed by ProFEMAG AG, and was recently acquired by Gamma Technologies LLC. Since then, the tool has been further developed collaboratively. The aim of the development is to improve the 2D Finite-Element modelling of electric motors, and enable easy integration into the GT-SUITE toolchain. The first part of this project provides a comprehensive review of the automotive industry’s context and a broad summary of electric vehicle applications.
