Importing / Exporting Motors and Parts

A new efficient way for importing / exporting Motors in Motor Catalog, and Parts in Part Factory

To facilitate the exchange of motor design and part topology between users, new functionalities have been developed allowing the import/export of motors in Motor Factory application and import / export parts in Part Library application.

Any motor from Motor Catalog can be exported to:
  • A folder,
  • or a zip file.
New Export function in Motor Catalog
1 Select one or several motor(s) to be exported.
2 Clicking on the button “Export” opens a dialog box to export motors stored in a folder or in a zip file.
3 Dialog box to give “Export information” for exporting the motors.
4 The export information is:
  • Export name,
  • Export format: either folder or zip,
  • Destination folder.
5 The selected motor(s) can be stored either inside a folder or in a zip file before being exported.
A motor can be imported into the Motor Catalog if it:
  • exists in a reference catalog of FluxMotor (the old type of import),
  • or is stored in a folder,
  • or is stored in a zip file.

An internal process checks if the motor provided in the folder or the zip file is compatible with the intended motor catalog.
New Import function in Motor Catalog
1
Selection of a user’s catalog in which the motors to import will be stored.
Note: In this example, the catalog in which motors will be imported is currently empty.
2 Click on the button “IMPORT”.
3 Clicking on the icon "IMPORT" opens a dialog box, allowing three ways to import motors.
4 1st solution: Import motors from another catalog
5 2nd solution: Import a motor from a folder
6 3rd solution: Import a motor from a zip file
Any part from the Part Library can be exported to:
  • a folder,
  • or a zip file.
New Export function in Part Library
1 Select one or several motor(s) to be exported.
2 Clicking on the button “Export” opens a dialog box to export motors stored in a folder or in a zip file.
3 Dialog box to give “Export information” for exporting the motors.
4
The export information is:
  • Export name,
  • Export format: either folder or zip,
  • Destination folder.
5 The selected motor(s) can be stored either inside a folder or in a zip file before being exported.
And a part can be imported to the Part Library if it:
  • exists in a reference library of FluxMotor (the old type of import),
  • or is stored in a folder,
  • or is stored in a zip file.

An internal process checks if the part provided in the folder or the zip file is compatible with the intended part library.
New Import function in Part Library
1
Selection of a user’s catalog in which the motors to import will be stored.
