Abstract: In this paper, we present a methodology for the parameterised modelling of a synchronous motor with variable reluctance. This methodology is based on the analytical method offering the possibility of the coupling of the analytical programme to optimisation algorithms of large dimensions since this method is fast in term simulation time. The analytical model is validated by the finite element method in two dimensions in linear regime and in saturated regime.

Keywords: variable reluctance motor; analytic method; finite element method; validation.
