New exports of LUT to System (PSIM)

The area SYSTEM, in the EXPORT environment of Motor Factory, allows exporting data like constants, curves and maps in lookup table (LUT) formats, such as FMU and MAT format files.

Such export is now available for the wound field synchronous machine and for the reluctance synchronous machine.

The test Characterization/Model/Maps can be selected for exporting the data.

Constants, curves and maps” given in Jd-Jq plane for characterizing the 3-Phase synchronous machines with permanent magnets are computed and exported.

These files can be imported directly into environments like Altair® Activate®, Altair® Compose® or Altair® PSIM® as binary variables files (.mat) or inside block functions, ready to be integrated into schemes to represent the model of the corresponding rotating electrical machine.

These functionalities are useful to represent the machine at the system level. Therefore, electrical machine and other system components, such as the drive and the control command, can be represented and simulated altogether into the same area.
Note: This functionality is not implemented for polyphase machines. It will be addressed in a future version.

In the “Test configuration” Operating quadrants to be considered can be selected. Hence, Export / System LUT (Activate or PSIM) allows exporting data based on 1, 2 or 4 quadrants.

Export / System LUT (Activate or PSIM) allows exporting data with respect to the rotor position dependency.

When selected, the rotor position dependency makes the computation done in the Jd - Jq plane with an additional fourth axis corresponding to the rotor position θr.

Area to export LUT dedicated to the reluctance synchronous machines
Motor Factory – EXPORT AREA – Export data in LUT formats available for the reluctance synchronous machines

Area to export LUT dedicated to the wound field synchronous machines
Motor Factory – EXPORT AREA – Export data in LUT formats available for the wound field synchronous machines
Warning: For the Wound Field Synchronous Machines, exporting LUT using FMU format files is not possible with the current version. This issue will be fixed in the next one.
