Polarization

Overview



POLARIZATION design area
1	Selection of the STATOR subset: POLARIZATION panel (Click on the icon POLARIZATION)
2	Visualization of the polarization on one pole.
3	Visualization of the polarization on the whole machine.
4	Tabs to navigate through the different MAGNET menus
5	Area to choose the polarization strategy. Five types of orientation and two coordinate systems and angle are available. See additional information below.
6	Button to restore default input values. Default polarization is defined in Part Factory application via Excel file. See “Part Factory” application for more information.
7	Button to Apply inputs. Pressing the enter key twice applies inputs too.
8	Icon to export polarization data into .txt or .xlsx files.

Two coordinate systems are available:

A “ Global ” polarization coordinate system: The origin is positioned at the rotor center.

A “ Local ” polarization coordinate system which is specific to each considered magnet topology.

Note: The reference axis (X-axis for Cartesian coordinate system) has a red color.

Five strategies of polarization are proposed:


	1	Global coordinate system. The origin is positioned at the rotor center. The reference axis is the X-axis. Its color is red.
	2	Local coordinate system. Its location is defined for each magnet topology. See “Part Factory” application for more information. The reference axis is the X-axis. Its color is red.
	3	Borders of part sector in which magnet topology is defined.
	4	Magnet in which a point P is considered to illustrate the polarization orientation.
	5	Polarization of the magnet considered at any point P.
