Local post processing : graphical representation (isovalues, isolines, arrows)

Introduction

To facilitate the results post processing, the representation of the usual quantities (the most frequently used ones) is prerecorded * at the level of the data base and directly accessible from the data tree.

Thus, it is possible to quickly access the representation of the magnetic flux density on the entire computation domain, or of the electrical potential on the device, …

These elements are presented in detail in the following sections.

Prerecorded graphic representation *: definition

A prerecorded graphic representation * contains :

• a predefined space group:

  the finite element computation domain (domain) / the device (no_vacuum)

• a usual local quantity, which depends on the physical application : magnetic flux density B, electrical potential V, temperature T, …

The usual local quantities are listed in the tables below.

Application	1_isoval_domain 2_isoval_no_vacuum	1_isolin_domain 2_isolin_no_vacuum	1_arrow_domain 2_arrow_no_vacuum
	Isovalues	Isolines	Arrows
Magneto Static		An → 2D plane 2ð.rAn → 2D axi → 3D
Transient Magnetic		An → 2D plane 2ð.rAn → 2D axi Re( ) → 3D
Steady State AC Magnetic	Re( )	Re(An) → 2D plane Re(2ð.rAn) → 2D axi Re( ) → 3D
Electro Static		Ve
Electric Conduction		Ve
Steady State AC Electric	Re( )	Re(Ve)
Steady State Thermal	Temp(TKelvin)	Temp(TKelvin)	= dFluxTh
Transient Thermal	Temp(TKelvin)	Temp(TKelvin)	= dFluxTh
Steady State AC Magnetic coupled with Transient Thermal (3D)	Re( )	Re( )
