Settings, inputs

Overview

Settings allow defining the context in which the test is going to be performed. Their definition is specific to each test.

Table 1. test settings

1	Setting of the main user’s inputs before running the test.
2	Button to define the thermal inputs (Solving mode or active components temperatures)
3	Button to define the user inputs of the power electronics stage
4	Button to define the parameters of the mechanical loss model

Next sections of this document describe more in-depth of the available settings.

Management of inputs

Table 2. Motor Factory – Test area – Management of user inputs, test computation and results

1	Test settings definition. To define the general conditions related to the machine: Inputs: The main test inputs Thermal: Button to define the active component temperatures (winding, magnet….) to be considered in the test. Electronics: Button to define the user inputs of the power electronics stage (Inverter control strategy…) Mechanics: Button to define the parameters of the mechanical loss model. Note: For more details refer to the dedicated section “Test settings” in the user help document for each type of machine and test.
2	User input parameters to be defined.
3	By default, only standard parameters are displayed. When needed, click on the arrow to visualize the advanced user inputs.
4	Button to apply input parameter values.
5	Button to start running the test (Input parameters are validated after clicking this button).
6	Button to restore default parameter values (Inputs as well as the settings like Thermal, Electronics and Mechanics parameters).
7	Button to save the test result.
8	Button to export test results into *.txt or *.xlsx files.
