This document gives the major information about Altair® FluxMotor® 2023.

Here are the highlights of the new version:
  1. Improvement of the test Characterization / Model / Maps
    • Options have been added to compute and display maps with respect to the rotor position dependency.
    • This improvement concerns Synchronous Machines with Permanent Magnets (SMPM) and Reluctance Synchronous Machine (RSM) as well.
  2. Export / System LUT (Activate or PSIM) has been updated for exporting data with respect to the rotor position dependency.
    • This improvement is available for Synchronous Machines with Permanent Magnets (SMPM)
  3. New test for induction machines with squirrel cage
    • Computation of the efficiency map with scalar control command. In this new test the control is based on the three main user input parameters: The maximum Line-Line voltage, the maximum line current and the maximum speed.
  4. The distribution of computations is available.

    The parametric distribution of the FluxMotor solver, “Flux”, is now possible on a single machine. Distributed computing allows the user to save computation time.

  5. The licensing process and dialog box have been modified to be the same as in Flux®
  6. Further new functions

All the added new features are briefly described below, followed by an update on issues and bugs.
