Model for Flux 2D
Overview
The aim of this export is to provide a python file which allows to get a full parametrized model ready to be used in Altair® Flux® 2D environment.
In the current version, models can be exported for static application or transient application in Flux® 2D environment.
Three models can be exported to Flux® 2D environment:
Application | Model family | Package | Convention | Model / Test |
TRANSIENT | Working point | Constant speed | Motor& Generator | U-N |
Area to build and to export a model to Flux® 2D environment
|
|
Motor Factory – EXPORT AREA – Export model for Flux® 2D environment | |
1 | Selection of the EXPORT area of Motor Factory. |
2 | Access the area in which a model for Flux® 2D environment can be made |
3 | Zone to visualize the overview of the selected model to be exported |
4 | Click on the tab to select the application (in this version only TRANSIENT is available) |
5 | 3 steps to build the model to be exported for Flux® 2D environment |
6 | Button to validate inputs and export the python file for building the model in Flux® 2D environment. |
7 | Export the python file for building the model in Flux® 2D environment or launch the project directly in Flux® 2D. |
Steps to build and export a model to Flux® 2D environment
In EXPORT / ADVANCED TOOLS / FLUX2D area, one must indicate that on which application of Flux 2D environment, the models must be built: static application or transient application.
Then, the 3 next steps are:
-
Define the type of scenario one wants to get in Flux® 2D environment (Test selection).
This means the simulation, that one wants to perform in Flux® 2D environment for evaluating the electromagnetic behavior of the considered machine.
- Define the test configuration. This is to give an initial value for the user
inputs, which will be set in the scenario of the simulation available in the
Flux® 2D model.Note: For each Flux® 2D model available in the current version, a short description of the user inputs is done in the following sections.
-
Define the export information
The resulting models are fully parameterized, and these are built Flux® 2D environment for static or transient applications.

Motor Factory – EXPORT AREA – Export model for Flux® 2D environment | |
1 | Select application (STATIC or TRANSIENT) in which the model must be built in Flux® 2D |
2 | Choose one scenario (or test) to be provided |
3 | Define the initial conditions for the simulation process in Flux® 2D environment |
4 | Define export information |
Test configuration
Next step is to define the initial conditions for the simulation process in Flux® 2D environment.
|
|
Motor Factory – EXPORT AREA – Export a model for Flux® 2D | |
1 | Tab to define the initial conditions for the simulation process in Flux® 2D environment |
2 | Settings like thermal conditions can be defined |
3 | User inputs dealing with the considered test can be defined |
The tab corresponding to advanced parameters can be expanded. Advanced parameters can also be defined if needed. |
|
4 | Button to validate the previous choices |
Export information
The last step for building a model for Flux® 2D is to define the export information.
- The name of the python file which will build the model in Flux® 2D environment.
- The folder in which the provided file must be stored.
- The last answer “Full geometry “ allows the user to get a full geometry in the provided model, even if it is possible to work with a reduced model considering the number of poles and the number of slots.

Motor Factory – EXPORT AREA – Export model for Flux® 2D – Export information | |
1 | Tab to be expanded to define export information for Flux® 2D |
2 | Area in which the export parameters to be defined are listed |
3 | Button to validate the previous choices |
4 | Button to finalize the export of the model. When one clicks on this button, the folder gets opened the folder where the python file to build the model is stored. |
