Circuit Designer: Introduction

Introduction

The circuit designer is a dedicated ribbon for coupling the FEM objects to circuit components and to run FEM-circuit electromagnetic analysis for transient or steady state applications. The FEM - circuit coupling allows, for example, the simulation of:
  • a D.C. electrical machine with commutator and the supplying circuit of the machine winding
  • a variable reluctance electrical machine whose coils are supplied by a chopper
  • a transformer with the primary winding connected to a supplying network and the secondary winding connected to a load circuit
  • many more ...
Note: As of SimLab 2023 the circuit designer ribbon has been introduced for :
  • Transient Magnetic 2D solution
  • Transient Magnetic 3D solution
  • Magnetic AC 3D solution
  • Supplied Conductors AC solution
Note: Only one circuit per solution, so it is possible to have an electric circuit created either by the Circuit Designer or by the Circuit Catalog.

Import Circuit

This option is used to import the circuit file(*.scm) by right click on Load and Constraints.

Export Circuit

This option is used to export the circuit (*.scm) by right click on circuit in browser.

Export to Catalog

This option is used to export the circuit details as catalog format i.e., it saves the *.scm file, preview image, circuit property file in a folder.
