MAXIMA releases three technical leaflets on real-time modelling and digital twin development
The MAXIMA project has published three new technical leaflets presenting recent research results in the fields of electromagnetic modelling, thermal analysis and multiphysics digital twins for electric vehicle machines. The documents summarise methodological developments and implementation strategies aimed at improving modelling accuracy, computational efficiency and system integration in real-time environments.
-
The leaflet “Implementation of a real-time model of an electromagnetic device” describes the development of a reduced-order electromagnetic model suitable for real-time execution. The work addresses the balance between physical fidelity and computational speed, enabling the model to be deployed in hardware-in-the-loop and control validation platforms. The proposed solution supports rapid testing and system optimisation in early design and validation phases. The document is available at: https://zenodo.org/records/18467000

The brochure on “Local thermal studies in an axial flux machine”, focuses on the analysis of temperature distribution within axial flux electric machines. The study examines local thermal effects and heat transfer mechanisms that influence performance, efficiency and durability. By combining numerical modelling with engineering considerations, the work provides insights into hotspot formation and thermal management strategies. The leaflet can be accessed at: https://zenodo.org/records/18467178

A third publication, “Multiphysics real-time digital twin for electric vehicle machine”, presents the development of an integrated digital twin framework that combines electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical domains into a real-time simulation environment. The approach enables continuous monitoring and performance evaluation of electric vehicle traction systems, supporting predictive analysis and advanced control applications. Read the full text here.
Together, these three documents reflect MAXIMA’s ongoing work on advanced modelling tools for electric mobility applications, with particular emphasis on real-time capability, multiphysics integration and system-level validation.
