Abstract This paper takes a ferrite magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor (FMaSynRM) as the study object. To establish the two-dimensional electromagnetic-coupled transient model of this FMaSynRM, this paper selects the open-source platform Elmer as the core solver and cooperates with some other open-source packages. The logic to build the geometry, generate the mesh, tune the electromagnet-coupled setting, conduct the post-processing is emphasized in this paper. With the consideration of the inverter’s capacity, the iron losses, copper losses, power factor etc. at main operating points are evaluated by Elmer and comparisons are made with the commercial software. Finally, the prototype is manufactured and tested. The out-put power and efficiency maps at different speeds are obtained and the results meet the design requirements. The reliability and correctness of the modelling of the FMaSynRM by Elmer is proven, which sets an example for the design of other machines and similar electromagnetic apparatus by the open-source platform.
