Steady state

Available models to be exported and user inputs

Overview

In the current version only one Flow Simulator export is available the steady state thermal analysis for three-phase inner rotor SMPM. Thermal transient export and more machine types will be addressed in future versions.

Characterization – Thermal -Motor & Generator – Steady State

Positioning and objective

The aim of this export is to represent the steady state thermal behavior of the machine through a customizable lumped thermal parameter model coupled with a flow network when necessary.

The resulting model is a 3D representation of a steady state thermal circuit built in Flow Simulator, it corresponds to the thermal model used in Flux Motor to run both, thermal and coupled tests.

The following section describes all the user inputs and settings to initialize the exported model.
