  • Publication number: 20240046017
    Abstract: An arithmetic method by a computer according to the present embodiment includes model generating, execution processing, and electromagnetic interference noise generating. The model generating generates a model including a circuit model configured by a plurality of element models connected to each other and a motor model driven by the circuit model. The execution processing computes a motor current of the motor model generated in each of first calculating steps over time by using information on electrical characteristics of each element model. The electromagnetic interference noise generating generates electromagnetic interference noise in accordance with a frequency at a predetermined measurement point in the model in each of predetermined time segments in a measurement period, and generates an electromagnetic interference noise level at each frequency in the measurement period based on an electromagnetic interference noise level in accordance with the frequency in each of the time segments.

  • Publication number: 20210271473
    Abstract: An arithmetic method according to the present embodiment comprises a model creation step, an execution processing step, and a thermal model creation step. The model creation step creates a circuit model in which a plurality of element models each having information on electrical characteristics of a switching element are connected to each other. The execution processing step computes, by using the information on the electrical characteristics of each of the element models, a power generated at each time step by switching of the element model with respect to a predetermined time-series input value in time series. The thermal model creation step creates a thermal model that outputs an output value based on an integrated value obtained by integrating the power generated at the each time step, in accordance with switching of the element model.
