FEM is well known as a powerful tool for the analysis of electromagnetic field in electromagnetic devices. MATLAB/Simulink is also well known as a very useful tool for the analysis and design of control systems. This paper proposes a new method, where the MATLAB/Simulink is coupled with FEM. We apply the proposed method to analyze the permanent magnet motor drive system, and show that it can take into consideration the torque ripple and space harmonics of the motor, which are not considered in MATLAB/Simulink. The computational time is reasonable in the case where the non-linearity is not significant.
