Method to define the airgap

In the topology sub area, three ways are possible to define the structural data of the machine, like the diameters and the airgap. They are illustrated below.



Methods to define the diameters of the machine and the airgap / Example for an induction machine with squirrel cage and inner rotor
1

The user defines the inner diameter of the stator and the airgap.

The outer diameter of the rotor is automatically deduced (the automatically computed value is displayed in grey color).

2

The user defines the inner diameter of the stator and the outer diameter of the rotor.

The airgap is automatically deduced (automatically computed value is displayed in grey color).

3

The user defines the outer diameter of the rotor and the airgap.

The inner diameter of the stator is automatically deduced (automatically computed value is displayed in grey color).
