Results of iron losses computation on regions

Computation results

The computation of iron losses on regions gives the following results



Curve

"CURVE_LOSS_REGION_i" curve can be displayed automatically and is stored in the tree in the area Postprocessing > Curve > 2D curve (I/O Parameter).

It represents instantaneous losses on the region(s) versus time.

Result

The results are automatically displayed in the data tree in the area Postprocessing > Result > Iron losses Result.

The results include:
  • Average losses over a period on region(s) (in W)
  • Iron losses energy on region(s) (in J)
  • Error on periodicity (in %)

Spatial quantities

Spatial quantities, denominated "DVOL_ENERGY_LOSS_i" and "DVOL_LOSS_MEAN_ i" are stored in the data tree in the area Parameter/Quantity > Spatial quantity

Spatial quantities correspond to:
  • Average loss density "DVOL_LOSS_MEAN_i"
  • Losses energy density "DVOL_ENERGY_LOSS_i"
Note: These spatial quantities are not identified in Flux as a scenario result and consequently they are not automatically removed when the user, in the Application or the Solving menus, deletes the project results. If the user is no longer interested in conserving these spatial quantities, he is invited to manually delete them in two steps: firstly the losses energy density "DVOL_ENERGY_LOSS_i" quantities and then the average loss density "DVOL_LOSS_MEAN_i" ones.

Display loss density (isovalues)

It is possible to display the above mentioned spatial quantities in a color shade graphic (isovalues).

For this:
  • In Graphic menu:

    Point on Isovalues and click on New

  • In the dialog box:
    • Choose a support (laminated regions for iron losses computation)
    • In the spatial quantities area, open the formula editor... (click on f())
  • In the Editor of formula and spatial quantities box / User tab, select one of the following spatial quantities:
    • DVOL_LOSS_MEAN_i
    • DVOL_ENERGY_LOSS_i
  • Confirm by clicking OK

Isovalues are computed and displayed on the selected support in the graphic windows.
