Abstract:

Higher solution accuracy and solution efficiency of the temperature field simulation are required,to satisfy the optimization design and the development of multi-physical field coupling simulation of high-power electrical apparatus.The transmission line iteration method (TLM) is used to accelerate the finite element analysis of three-dimensional nonlinear heat conduction problem.In order to further improve the efficiency of TLM,the transmission line admittance determination principle and relaxation iteration method are proposed.The parallel computing technology is used to realize the acceleration of TLM.The improved TLM is applied to solve the temperature field of the direct-acting relay,and the accuracy of the algorithm is verified by comparing the solution results with commercial software COMSOL and Newton-Raphson iteration.Compared with the traditional Newton-Raphson iteration,TLM can achieve a stable solution efficiency improvement.
