All machines
When a machine with of linear ferromagetic materials is built with version N, it cannot be opened with the version N+1.
For example, if such a machine has been built with FluxMotor version 2024.1, it cannot be opened with version 2025.
This problem will be corrected in the next version.
There are two workarounds:
1) Export the project script with version N-1 and run it with version N (solved tests will not be saved).
2) Replace the linear materials with non-linear materials in version N-1, so that it can be opened with version N. The tests must have been saved beforehand (ref.: FXM-17466).
The graphs displayed in the test Mechanics / NVH have bad quality
Immediately after obtaining the results, the quality of the graphics is good. It deteriorates when you change windows and then come back to see the results (ref.: FXM-17258).
Thermal computations - Problem of convergency
When losses are very high, there is a convergence issue with the Thermal computations (ref.: FXM-15900).
Wrong thermal analysis
Zero values are allowed for housing, bearing or shaft dimensions but lead to the wrong thermal analysis (ref.: FXM-14705).
Null values are not well managed while designing the Frame and shaft.
Null values are allowed for designing the housing, bearing, or shaft dimensions, but this leads to the wrong thermal analysis. It is highly recommended not to use null values for the inputs considered (ref.: FXM-14705).
Export to FeMT with too long output path
The Flux script crashes when the output path for FeMT export is too long (ref.: FXM-15471).
Fault in the coupling FluxMotor-HyperStudy
An error in the FluxMotor process doesn't stop the HyperStudy execution (ref.: FXM-15402).
Issue with exported Flux Skew projects
After exporting a Flux Skew project, if the user solves the project, deletes the results, and then solves again, the running of the project fails (ref.: FXM-15075).
The color of wires displayed in the slots is not correct while using Flux Skew export (ref.: FXM-16942).
Error while opening a motor (2020.1) with null shaft extension.
Opening a motor built with version 2020.1 (or older) with a null shaft extension leads to an error. With new versions, a null shaft extension is forbidden (ref.: FXM-14684).
Air material properties are wrong for high temperature.
When an IO cannot be loaded, the test results are not accessible.
When an IO cannot be loaded, the whole process that loads all the test results is stopped. As a result, no test is visible, although the issue may concern one result in a particular test (ref.: FXM-13941).
A wedge and/or inter-coil insulation region leads to a wrong slot equivalent thermal conductivity.
The slot radial thermal conductivity, which is automatically provided by the FluxMotor® in the "Cooling-Internal" context and used in all thermal tests, is wrong if the slot contains faces "wedge" or "inter-coil insulator" (ref.: FXM-13896).
Power electronics and coupling with HyperStudy®
For tests where the setting "Electronics" is available, data like power electronics stage, maximum efficiency, and its rated power can be selected for generating a connector for HyperStudy®, but it should not be.
In the Export-HyperStudy® area, when the selected test is “Working Point, T-N”, the settings of “Electronics” - "Max efficiency", and "Rated Power" - are exported even if the associated option is not selected (ref.: FXM-13726).
Winding environment – MMF computation
The counter-clockwise sequence (MMF computation) is not considered in the Altair® Flux® model, which one can export. Only the clockwise phase sequence is considered (ref.: FXM-10280).
Using "phase sequence" set to "Counterclockwise" leads to wrong results in tests (ref.: FXM-13358).
Flux density isovalues
When a skewed topology is considered (synchronous machines or induction machines), the flux density isovalues, the vector potential isolines, and the rotor bars current density isovalues are not displayed (ref.: FXM-12564).
