1.1.1. Description of the studied device

Studied device The device to be analyzed is a variable reluctance speed sensor.


The studied device consists of:
a cogged wheel (made of steel) with three teeth
two probes with a magnet (made of ferrite) and a coil around each

COIL 1+

MAGNET 1 PROBE 1
WHEEL
COIL 1-

COIL 2+

MAGNET 2 PROBE 2

COIL 2-

Operating The rotation of the cogged wheel near the tip of the probes changes the
principle magnetic flux around probes 1 and 2, creating an analog voltage signal that
can be measured by the probes.

1.1.2. Studied cases

Studied cases Two cases are carried out with the Magneto Static application:
case 1: static study (mono value)
case 2: multi-parametric static study (multi values)

Case 1 The first case is a static study (mono value).


In this case, the study is performed in the middle position: the two probes
between two teeth. The geometric parameter , which allows us to control the
angle of the wheel around Z axis, has a fixed value = 75 . The coils are not
current supplied (=measuring coils)

Case 2 The second case is a multi-parametric static study (multi values)


In this parameterized study, the angle of the cogged wheel will vary. The
geometric parameter varies in the range [75, 195] with a step of 3.
