TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the possibility of using flux switching linear tubular machines in a free piston energy conversion (FPEC) system, and the analysis was done using finite element method.
Abstract: The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of using flux switching linear tubular machines in a free piston energy conversion (FPEC) system. In FPEC systems, acceleration and therefore speed are often relatively high, which impose to have a reduced number of poles, meanwhile the cogging force will be relatively high. In order to reduce the cogging force two techniques are combined. The analysis is done using finite element method.

TL;DR: The open circuit magnetic field components obtained from the MGRN model are compared to those obtained from a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) showing a very good agreement.
Abstract: This paper deals with MRNSoftware; a new tool for automatic generation of Mesh based Generated Reluctance Network (MGRN) for electromagnetic devices modeling. The used modeling approach is detailed in the case of a Permanent Magnet Linear Machine (PMLM). Thanks to MRNSoftware, it is shown that it is possible to quickly obtain a semi-numerical model of studied structures. The open circuit magnetic field components obtained from the MGRN model are compared to those obtained from a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) showing a very good agreement.
