Part import from SimLab - Inner salient pole

The creation of the Inner Salient Pole part type is now seamlessly integrated through the FluxMotor Solution in SimLab. This marks the first time users can directly design, customize in SimLab, and import Inner Salient Pole geometries for Wound Field Synchronous Machines (SMWF) with inner rotors, unlocking new design possibilities.

With this new option for the FluxMotor solution in SimLab, you can:
  • Create or Customize: Design Inner Salient Pole parts from scratch using a basic sector template, customize existing catalog parts, or import directly from CAD models.
  • Key Parameters: Define essential structural parameters and design parameters.
  • Region Assignment: Easily assign physical regions (e.g., Coil Conductor, Magnetic Circuit, Solid Conductor, Pole Insulation, Air) to your part's bodies, ensuring correct simulation behavior in FluxMotor.
  • Seamless Export to FluxMotor for SMWF Analysis. Once your Inner Salient Pole part is designed and validated within SimLab, it can be seamlessly exported to be used in FluxMotor. This allows for immediate performance analysis within a 3-Phase Wound Field Synchronous Machine – Inner salient pole – Inner rotor setup.
Alongside this new part, we've also implemented key improvements to the overall SimLab part design workflow, making your experience more intuitive and efficient. Designing and customizing parts in SimLab for FluxMotor is now more user-friendly and efficient:
  • Visual Parameter Guidance: In FluxMotor, parameters of a SimLab part are now visualized directly on your geometry with interactive arrows, providing clear visual feedback on which dimension you are adjusting.
  • Accelerated Parameter Updates: Experience significantly faster response times when modifying design parameters, enabling quicker iterations and a smoother design process.
