Abstract: A simulation apparatus is provided with means for obtaining shape data expressing a simulation object, means for storing a constraint condition for a simulation in association with each type of object, means for storing, for each of one or more evaluation items for evaluating an object having an arbitrary shape satisfying the constraint condition, a procedure of a coupled analysis using one or more simulation means related to the evaluation item, means for accepting a type and an evaluation item for an object, means for reading out a procedure of a coupled analysis corresponding to the evaluation item based on the accepted evaluation item for the object, and means for reading out a constraint condition for an object corresponding to the accepted type and giving the constraint condition to the shape data to execute the coupled analysis in accordance with the procedure of the coupled analysis.

Abstract: A rotary electric motor is provided which comprises an annular first rotor, an annular stator disposed concentric with and radially outside the first rotor, and an annular second rotor disposed concentric with and radially outside the stator, the stator including a stator core made up of a plurality of stator pieces that are arranged in a circular array and electrically independently from each other, coils wound around the respective stator pieces, annular first and second brackets disposed on opposite axial ends of the stator core, a fastening device passing through holes of the first and second brackets and fixedly holding the stator core between the first and second brackets, and an induction current suppressing device suppressing an induction current that is produced in response to a variation of magnetic flux of each of the coils and flows through the fastening device.
