I am analyzing an axial flux synchronous motor with a 10-pole, 12-slot configuration, applying three-phase AC current.

The AC current is as follows.

185*sin(2*pi*fre*time)
185*sin(2*pi*fre*time-2*pi/3)
185*sin(2*pi*fre*time-4*pi/3)

However, even after running the simulation multiple times, I only get negative torque or torque values close to zero. Could this be due to an incorrect initial position? If so, how should I set the initial position? I’ve heard a lot about aligning it with the phase, but I’d like to know precisely which equations or methods I can use to achieve proper alignment.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
