Flux e-Machine Toolbox: Tests
Running a test
-
run a test in FeMT by clicking on
A dialog box appears in which the user must choose the name of the test and click on
.
- run a test through PBS
See Run a test through PBS (by manual Export / Import) for more information
List of tests
Once the test running is done, the test appears at the bottom right. Several tests can be run on a same component, in this case they are listed:
Actions on a test
The possible actions on a test run are:
Display:
Display the test results by double-clicking on it or by right click → DisplayA tab with the name of the test is added in the central area, and it is possible to navigate easily using the filters on the left
Close:
Close the display of a test by clicking on the cross of the tab
or by right-click → Close
Delete:
Delete a test by selecting it in the list and by clicking on
or by a right-click → Delete

- Resume: Resume a failed test by right click → Resume
Test states
A test can have 4 states:
: the test is
successful-
:
the test is in progress 
:
the test was failed or was interrupted during the Flux computation and this
test is potentially resumable
: the test is
failed and it's impossible to resume the computation
Export a test
A test can be exported in 3 different formats:
- pdf format for a report (equivalent to all the content of the central area)
- html format for a report (equivalent to all the content of the central area)
- txt format to post-process data (a text file by quantity)
- mat format to export Lookup tables for PSIM or Altair
Twin Activate software
This allows you to create a System model of your complete drive systems including power electronics and your motor that is represented by an usual speed and current control Reduced Order Model that uses Look Up Table parameters (Flux_D, Flux_Q, inductances, ...).
More details in Flux e-Machine Toolbox: Export for Twin Activate / PSIM.
Resume an interrupted test
During Altair Flux e-Machine Toolbox computations, it happens that Flux fails (for example because of a lack of memory). In some cases we are able to resume it.
A test is resumable if a crash of Flux happens during the solving stage:
When a test fails and is resumable, a new error dialog is displayed, explaining that is possible to resume this test.
A failed test during Flux computations is identified with the icon if it is
resumable.
To try to resume the test right-click on the test and choose Resume:
After clicking on “Resume” menu item, computations will restart from the last solved step.
