Inputs

1. Steps to build and export a connector

1.1 Overview

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

1.2 Test selection

In the current version of Altair^® FluxMotor ^® , one test can be selected:

• Characterization / Model / Motor / Maps

1.3 Test configuration

After selecting a test, the corresponding test inputs (settings and user inputs) must be defined. This allows to define the initial conditions for testing.

Motor Factory – EXPORT AREA – FORMAT – FMU / Test configuration for Characterization / Model / Motor / Maps
1	Overview of the selected test is displayed
2	User inputs can be defined in the test area.

1.4 Export information

The last step for building and exporting data in FMU format files is to define the export information.

Two inputs must be defined:

• The name of the directory in which the created files will be stored
• The destination folder in which the previous directory will be located

Motor Factory – EXPORT AREA – FORMAT – FMU / Export information
1	Tab to be expanded to define export information.
2	Area in which the export information parameters to be defined are listed
3	Button to validate the previous choices
4	Button to finalize the export of the data files. One click opens the folder where the directory is located

2. A C/C++ compiler is needed

2.1 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

2.2 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.

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:
