Thermal
In the thermal settings you have two main possible choices:
- One can define the temperatures of the winding to define the physical properties of the materials needed to run directly the tests without any thermal computation.
- Or one can choose iterative process until convergence to perform electromagnetic computation coupled to thermal analysis.
Note: The external fluid temperature corresponds to the
temperature of the fluid surrounding the machine. It is also considered as the
temperature at the “infinite” for the computation of radiation from the frame to the
“infinite”.
Note: The cooling circuit fluid temperature
is relevant only when a cooling circuit has been added by the user in the design
environment. In this case, this input describes its fluid inlet
temperature.
Important: This test allows
electromagnetic computations with coupled thermal analysis when both the following
conditions are met:
- The type of machine is Synchronous Machine with Permanent Magnets with Inner rotor
- Iterative thermal solving can be selected.
