Abstract:
This paper presents the application of the novel concept of virtual learning to the design of a permanent magnet machine. The software is organized in learning modules, each module consisting of: (i) an explanation layer; (ii) an exploration layer; and (iii) an (instructional) diagnostic layer. The software combines classical learning tools, such as lecture notes, with computer aided design (CAD) tools. A description of the developed system is presented
