Abstract A finite element, magnetostatic analysis, of a brushless direct current motor containing non‐linear materials and permanent magnets is presented. The analysis is performed with PDEase™, a low cost, two‐dimensional partial differential equation solver. The descriptor file is remarkably short and easy to understand, enabling students to focus on the application and not on the finite element method. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
