This paper presents a systematic approach to multidisciplinary design automation in electric motor engineering, focusing on component design. Existing work in this field is often limited to a single level and lacks portability and reusability. The approach aims to enable simultaneous component and system design, with comprehensive models capturing specifications and architecture. Feasibility is demonstrated through the automated design of additive manufactured hairpin windings.
