A new supervisor

A new supervisor has been developed to enable easier and faster viewing and access to projects and rotating electrical machines.

Five new main entrances have been defined:

  • “New”: to create a new motor from a default topology.

    Rotating electrical machines are classified according to the families to which they belong: synchronous, induction and DC machines. Within each family, a further classification is used to distinguish between different types of machines, e.g., for synchronous machines, one finds permanent-magnets machines, variable-reluctance machines, machines with wound field, etc.

    The topology of the selecting machine is displayed with a brief introduction.

    Double clicking on the icon of the machine or clicking on the button Open in Motor Factory edits the machine in Motor Factory design environment.

  • “Recent”: to edit a recent project. Up to 100 projects can be stored in this list.

    A brief description of the project is done with the Catalog name, the type of machine and the Created + Modified date.

  • “Edit”: To select and edit a project from the catalogs, standard and user catalogs like what can be done when using Motor Catalog. This allows the user to access past studies quickly directly from the supervisor.

    Double clicking on the icon of the machine or clicking on the button Open in Motor Factory edits the machine in Motor Factory design environment.

  • “App”: to access the FluxMotor satellite applications like Motor Catalog, Part Library, Materials, Units, Script Factory, etc.

  • “Altair®”: A dedicated section to give access to Altair solutions that are needed and complementary for FluxMotor like:

    Flow SimulatorTM, Flux®, HyperStudyTM, PSIMTM, SimLab®, Twin Activate®
    Note: For each solution, a picture and a text help to introduce it. There are also the following three links:
    • “Overview” (link to get into the corresponding altair.com web page)
    • “Community” (link to get into the corresponding Forum – Community)
    • “Download” (link to the corresponding download area or marketplace)
