How to model faults and observe the impacts on outputs

What you’ll learn
Model stator, rotor, and magnetic faults in motors using ANSYS Maxwell step by step
Simulate short circuits, eccentricity, and demagnetization faults with FEM techniques
Analyze and compare healthy vs. faulted motor performance in Maxwell
Create post-processing plots for torque, flux, and efficiency in faulty motors

Requirements
Initial Simulation Skills using Ansys Maxwell (all needed materials are available in previous courses)

Description
Electrical machines rarely fail without warning—faults develop gradually and impact performance, reliability, and safety. In this course, you’ll learn how to model and analyze common motor faults using finite element method (FEM) simulation tools such as ANSYS Maxwell. Step by step, we will cover how to set up fault conditions, interpret results, and link simulations to real-world behavior. From the results and behavior of the machines, we can anticipate the failure in real machines before they stop working because of intensive fault or burnt wires. You will see:Demagnetization faults in the PM motors Short-circuit faults (in-turn short circuit in windings and line-to-line)Voltage unbalance and supply faults modelingRotor-related faults such as broken bars and eccentricityStatic, Dynamic, and Mixed Eccentricity fault modeling and the resutlsHow these faults affect torque, losses, efficiency, and thermal behaviorBy the end of this course, you will be able to create accurate simulation models of faulty motors with 3D and 2D model of FEA analysis in Ansys Maxwell, compare them with healthy operation, and gain valuable insights for condition monitoring, diagnostics, and fault-tolerant design.More faults will be added to this course gradually by your suggestions in the reviews! so feel free to write your needed simulation there
