Studied device

The device to be analyzed is a variable reluctance speed sensor.
The studied device consists of:
• a cogged wheel (made of steel) with three teeth
• two probes with a magnet (made of ferrite) and a coil around each

1.1.2. Studied cases

Studied cases

Case 1

Three cases are carried out in a Magneto Static application:
• case 1: static study
• case 2: multi-parametric computation

The first case is a static study.

This study is a very easy problem of Magneto Statics. In this study, a magneto
static analysis of the sensor is performed in a medium position: the two
probes between two teeth. A geometric parameter α, which allow us to
control the angle of the wheel around Z axis, has a fixed value α = 75° The
coils are not current supplied (=measuring coils)

Case 2

The second case is a parametric computation.

The angle of the cogged wheel will vary. In this parameterized study, the
geometric parameter is the angle α that varies in the range [75°, 195°] with a
step of 3°.
