Motor Factory – Export area

Export Documents

In the EXPORT area of Motor Factory, and like for all the machine types, it is possible to automatically build reports to describe all the work achieved for designing the machine’s topology.

At the same level, an export of a python script of a current motor in the application Script Factory can also be automatically generated.

Export projects from FluxMotor® to Flux® 2D

On the other hand, once the design of the machine is achieved, it is possible to export its models in Flux 2D.

The aim of this export is to provide a python file or to get directly into Flux® 2D environment with a full parametrized model ready to be solved and postprocessed.

In the current version, this export allows the users to build a model and to perform transient simulations in Flux® 2D.

User inputs, like feed voltage and machine speed, are predefined to get quick access into Flux® 2D environment for performing computations.

The resulting model represents a DC machine rotating at constant speed and fed by a DC source (e.g., battery) through a circuit containing a known impedance, including a resistive and an inductive element.

Note: Please note that, depending on the chosen DC voltage and rotating speed, any working point can be defined, and the DC machine can behave as a motor or as a generator.

The corresponding electrical circuit that represents the winding connections with commutator segments, brushes and their relative positions is automatically defined (see illustration below) saving a huge amount of time in modeling.
