This paper presents a comprehensive design and analysis methodology for a Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor (PMLSM), with a focus on evaluating different inductance modeling approaches. The motor design begins with analytical dimensioning based on defined design parameters. A two-dimensional finite element analysis follows this in ANSYS Maxwell to verify magnetic saturation, back-EMF, flux linkage, and electromagnetic performance under full load conditions. The inductance parameters are calculated using both conventional and look-up table (LUT) based models. In the conventional model, seven different methods are tested under static and dynamic conditions, as well as in non-salient and salient scenarios, and their results are compared. In the LUT model, current-dependent inductance values are extracted from flux linkage maps. The motor designed in Maxwell, along with the calculated inductance data, is integrated into a dynamic cooperative simulation (co-sim) model controlled by an inverter in Simplorer to analyze the thrust force. The results show that the LUT model provides outputs that are closer to the co-sim reference than the traditional model. Furthermore, performance curves based on the Maximum Torque Per Ampere strategy are generated, and the force-speed and power-speed characteristics derived from both inductance models are compared. The findings emphasize the importance of accurate inductance modeling in capturing the actual electromagnetic behaviour of PMLSM under dynamic operating conditions.
