This paper proposes a smooth finite element method (S-FEM) for efficient and accurate analysis of motor magnetic fields. The edge-based smooth finite element (ES-FEM) formulations are derived for two-dimensional triangular element meshes suitable for multi-material motor structures, and then a magnetic flux density calculation method appropriate for S-FEM to calculate nonlinear electromagnetic fields is introduced. In the calculation of motor magnetic field, ES-FEM has a proper softening effect on the stiffness matrix of the finite elements, which makes the calculation more accurate and more efficient than FEM. The magnetic flux intensity calculation method introduced in this paper is not only appropriate for ES-FEM to calculate the nonlinear electromagnetic field of motor, but also can improve the calculation accuracy of magnetic flux density. In the calculation of nonlinear magnetic field of motor, ES-FEM can also improve the calculation accuracy of magnetic field analysis compared with FEM. Several numerical examples demonstrate the improving effect of the ES-FEM discussed above on the motor's magnetic field calculation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
