Settings
Introduction
Three buttons give access to the following setting definition: Thermal, Electronics and Mechanics. Each kind of settings are shortly defined here.
Additional information can be read in the sections dedictated to settings (Test introduction).
Thermal settings
- Either you can define the temperatures of active components (Magnet and winding) to define the physical properties of the materials needed to run directly the tests without any thermal computation.
- Or you can choose iterative process until convergence to perform electromagnetic computation coupled to thermal analysis.

1 |
Dialog box to define the thermal settings. Buttons allow to choose one of the three thermal solving modes |
2 | The first option of thermal setting is to run the test with only electromagnetic computation without any thermal analysis. This option is the default one available for all the tests. |
2a | Dialog box that allows to define the machine active components winding and magnets temperatures to run test without any thermal analysis. |
2b | Temperatures of the machine active components to be considered for characterizing the physical properties of the associated materials. |
3 | Thermal solving mode with iterative process between electromagnetic and thermal computations till the convergence. |
4 |
Definition of coolant temperatures to be considered:
Cooling circuit fluid inlet temperature (when a cooling circuit is defined on the design side (2)) |
5 |
Initial temperatures of the machine active components winding and magnets. These temperatures are used to initialize the electromagnetic-thermal process of computation. |

Power electronics parameters
Dialog box to define the power electronics parameters:
- Inverter control strategy
- Inputs for evaluating the power electronics stage losses

Mechanical loss model parameters
A dialog box allows defining the mechanical loss computation model.
