The CREATOR Project: Towards a Computational Electric Machine Laboratory
🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the longstanding challenge in electric motor design—simultaneously achieving high efficiency, high power density, and sustainability—which has been hindered by limitations in integrated modeling of multiphysics coupling, advanced materials, and complex geometries. Departing from conventional sequential design paradigms, the project establishes an interdisciplinary computational motor laboratory framework that synergistically integrates electrical engineering, applied mathematics, fluid dynamics, and materials science. The framework unifies multiphysics simulation, material–structure–performance co-modeling, geometric parameterization, and intelligent optimization algorithms. During the initial funding period (2022–2026), an integrated simulation platform has been developed and validated, demonstrating significant improvements in both efficiency and power density for novel motor designs, thereby advancing a new simulation-driven paradigm for electric machine development.
📝 Abstract
The Collaborative Research Centre TRR 361/F90 CREATOR (2022-2030) aims at establishing a new paradigm for the simulation-driven design of electric machines. Increasing demands on efficiency, power density and sustainability require the integration of multiphysical effects, advanced materials and complex geometries into the design process. Traditional sequential workflows are no longer sufficient to address these challenges. CREATOR therefore combines expertise from electrical engineering, applied mathematics, fluid dynamics and materials science to establish integrated modelling, simulation and optimisation methodologies in a single large-scale project funded by the German and Austrian national funding agencies. This article provides an overview of the research vision, key achievements from the first funding period (2022-2026) and current developments towards a computational electric machine laboratory.
