The magnetic force can be calculated from the flux density by finite element methods and the Maxwell stress tensor in cy- lindrical coordinates. In this paper the magnetic flux density, the magnetic force and the torque of a real three dimen- sional brushless DC motor are simulated using Maxwell 3 D V 11.1. Keywords: Brushless DC Motor, Finite Element Analysis, Maxwell 3 D V 11.1 1. Introduction Magnetic force analysis is important in determining not only the torque as the output of motor, but also the source of vibration in machine itself. Vibration is induced in permanent magnet DC motors and generators as shown in Figure 1, by traveling magnetic forces. Neodymium and other rare earths have greater retentivity, coercive force and maximum energy product than traditional ferrite magnets. Therefore, since the magnetic force increases approximately with the square of magnetic flux, the forces arising from designs using rare earth magnets are significantly greater than those from conventional magnet designs. These problems are particularly serious when the forcing frequencies match one or more of the structural resonant frequencies in the
