Data in FMU format

1. Overview

The area FORMAT, in the EXPORT environment of Motor Factory, allows exporting data like constants, curves and maps in FMU format files.

In the current version, the test Characterization/Model/Maps can be selected for exporting data.

Constants, curves and maps” given in J _d -J _q plane for characterizing the 3-Phase synchronous machines with permanent magnets

are computed and exported in FMU format files.

Then, these files can be imported directly into environments like Altair^® Activate ^® inside block functions ready to be integrated into schemes to represent the model of the corresponding rotating electrical machine.

Thus, electrical machine and all what are concerning its environment like the drive and control command, for instance, can be represented and simulated altogether into the same area.

2. Area to export data in FMU format files

Motor Factory – EXPORT AREA – Export data in FMU format files
1	Selection of the EXPORT area of Motor Factory.
2	Access the area (FORMAT) in which data can be exported in FMU format files.
3	Zone to visualize either the overview of the selected test or the corresponding user inputs/outputs parameters
4	3 steps to compute and to export data in FMU format files.
5	Buttons to validate inputs, display a preview and export the data.

3. Steps to build and export data in FMU format files

In EXPORT / ADVANCED TOOLS / FORMAT area 3 steps are needed to build and export data in FMU format files:

1. Select the test which will be performed for building data to be exported.
2. Define the test configuration, that means the user inputs/outputs parameters needed to perform the test (settings and user inputs of the considered test)
3. Define the export information

4. A C/C++ compiler is needed

4.1 C/C++ compiler / System requirements

FluxMotor requires a C/C++ compiler to perform some operation for creating FMU blocs.

Here is the list of the supported Visual Studio compilers supported:

Microsoft® Visual Studio 2019, Community, Professional, Enterprise

Microsoft® Visual Studio 2017, Community, Professional, Enterprise

Microsoft® Visual Studio 2019/2017/2015: Build Tools

4.2 Access path of the C/C++ Compiler

Once the C/C++ Compiler is installed on the computer, its access path must be specified in the user’s preferences.

Note: When opening FluxMotor^®, if a C/C++ Compiler is already installed on the computer, the corresponding install path is automatically written in the user’s preferences.

FluxMotor / Supervisor / User’s preferences / Location of the C/C++ Compiler
1	The Preferences dialog box is opened from the FluxMotor® supervisor.
2	Second tab is Path Preferences.
3	Define the location of the C/C++ Compiler on the computer

Here is below a list of files to select in the installation directory (path) according to the Visual Studio version that you installed:
