Composed Non Meshed Coil by File Import

Introduction

To be able to create a composed non meshed coil with a lot of points and avoid to have limitation in the execution of python containing too much lines, a new type of non meshed coil has been added and called Composed coil by file import.

This new type of composed coil will be powerful:

For Flux users, to be able to create non meshed coil without restriction on the number of definition points.
And indirectly also by SimLab users. In SimLab, it is possible to generate a file with a list of points of the neutral fiber of a body, and then use this file to create an non-meshed coil in SimLab equivalent to this new type of composed non meshed coil in Flux.

Composed Coil by file import

A dedicated type is available to create a composed non meshed coil directly by importing a csv file.


The CSV should be formatted as below
1^st column: X coordinate 2^nd column: Y coordinate 3^rd column: Z coordinate 4^th column: curvature radius

Remarque : the csv file can contain parameters

Difference between 2 possibilities of creation by import

It exists 2 possibilities of creation of composed non meshed coil by import:

By using the Composed coil type + using the "Import" button to fill the table with points informations, contained in a txt file (already existing).

Conseil : Recommended for few points
By using the Composed coil by file import type, with directly a selection of csv file, without table in the dialog box (added in this release 2024.1).

Conseil : No limit of number of points. It's recommended when a lot of points are required.


Difference between the both possibilities of creation of non mesh coil by import
Composed coil + "Import" button	Composed coil by file import
Fill the table in the dialog box	No table in the dialog box
Limited number of points, because there is a limitation on the number of lines of a script python when it is executed.	No limitation of the number of points, because the python command contains only the csv file, not all the coordinates of each point.
The corresponding python contains the list of point with X,Y,Z coordinates and the curvature radius.*	The corresponding python contains only the csv file.**
