Abstract
A finite element analysis (FEA) software package is used to derive two- and three-dimensional models of electromechanical actuators. From the models, solutions to potentially complex coupled mechanical and electromagnetic problems are derived using batch programs. Results indicate that the overall dynamic performance of the actuators is strongly dependent on the friction models and less dependent on the error introduced by the variation of electrostatic forces between simple and complex electrical equations.
