This aim of this paper is to assess the efficacy of mesh-based generated reluctance network (MGRN) modeling for the performance evaluation of a permanent magnet linear machine under load conditions. In the previous publications related to the use of this modeling technique, only approach implementation under an open-circuit performance has been assessed. The MGRN approach is based on the discretization of the geometry using elementary reluctance blocks (reluctance elements). This modeling technique has been implemented in a software tool that allows the automated processing of an arbitrary geometry providing a gain in model development durations. Validation of the MGRN model has been realized by comparison with a finite element analysis (FEA). Comparisons showed that both local and global quantities evaluated by MGRN and FEA are in excellent agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
