Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the static magnetic field potential is calculated by solving linear simultaneous equations using the finite element method, then the calculation accuracy is maintained, but the calculation time significantly increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecalculation accuracyVSAvoidcalculation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the calculation process into segments: it identifies and extracts only the critical components requiring full numerical solution, while other parts use simplified methods. This segmentation allows the system to maintain accuracy where needed while reducing overall computational time by avoiding unnecessary complex calculations in less critical areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the calculation parameters by switching between different mathematical approaches based on the specific requirements of each calculation stage. It uses simplified parameter relationships and approximation formulas instead of always solving complete linear simultaneous equations, thereby reducing computational complexity while maintaining sufficient accuracy for the simulation purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the complete numerical solution method is used for static magnetic field potential, then the solution accuracy is ensured, but the computational load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesolution accuracyVSAvoidcomputational load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by using the complete numerical solution method only for specific critical calculations rather than for the entire simulation process. For other parts, it employs simplified calculation methods, thereby reducing the overall computational load while ensuring accuracy is maintained where it matters most for the magnetic body simulation results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If more elements are included in the magnetic body model, then the simulation precision is improved, but the calculation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimulation precisionVSAvoidcalculation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the magnetic body into elements and applies different calculation strategies to different regions or types of elements. This allows higher precision modeling where necessary while using simplified approaches in other areas, thereby maintaining overall simulation precision even when the total number of elements is large, while keeping calculation time manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts calculation parameters based on the number and distribution of elements. When the model contains more elements, it switches to more efficient calculation algorithms and approximation methods that scale better with model size, thus maintaining simulation precision while preventing calculation time from increasing linearly with the number of elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
