The existing electric motor model for electric vehicles cannot address the simulation of transient conditions. Moreover, it is difficult to balance the computation time and simulation accuracy. To address these shortcomings, an improved internal permanent magnet motor model containing nonlinear magnetic field factors was proposed based on the equivalent magnetic circuit theory. The effects of the magnetic circuit saturation, cogging torque, and magnetic field harmonics on the electromagnetic torque could be reflected. Furthermore, the electromagnetic vibration and rotor eccentricity could be considered. To improve the computational efficiency of the equivalent magnetic network method, lumped parameter or mesh-based methods were used for flux paths with different complexities. Second, the single-layer mesh-based method with local variable permeability parameters improved the efficiency of the air-gap dynamic analysis and computational efficiency while simulating 2D flux paths. The radial and tangential electromagnetic forces were calculated using the Maxwell tensor method and the action on the rotor. The accuracy of the nonlinear magnetic field modeling was verified by finite element analysis and experimental. In addition, the motion modeling method and dynamic characteristics of the model were studied. A reference was provided for dynamic simulations of electric vehicles and other using permanent magnet motors.
