Thermofluid simulation of an electric motor

Dear Sir or Madam,

Hope this message finds you well. I'm tasked with producing a thermal model of a novel electric motor. My approach would be to create a thermal model and then perhaps a fluid system later, as the forced cooling sub-system needs to be integrated in a larger system.

Do you have any resources regarding this? Or has anyone been tasked with a similar task using simscape?

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,

Gonzalo
