Model periodicity and coils with solid conductors
This new feature deals with the capability to use the twist option inside the conductors of coils.
In the previous versions, this option was available but not reliable, while the machine modelling was represented with an anticyclic periodicity.
A major periodicity modelling and computation refactoring has been done to fix this problem. Hence, this allows well managing such configuration in Motor Factory.

Case 1: No twisted wires inside the conductor of coils The periodicity is based on a quarter of the geometry with anticyclic conditions |
Twisting the wires inside the conductors of coils modify the periodicity. The machine must be represented for half of the geometry instead of a quarter.

Case 2: Twisted wires inside the conductor of coils The periodicity is based on a half of the geometry with cyclic conditions |
The modelling of the twisted wires is considered in FluxMotor as well as in Flux 2D (or Skew) while exporting the project.
In case of twisted wires, the wires change position between the forward (IN) and return sides (OUT) of the coil.
That leads to the modification in the model periodicity which is based on a half of the geometry with cyclic conditions in the considered case below.

Case 2: Twisted wires inside the conductor of coils In each conductor, the color gradient illustrates the change in position The periodicity is based on a half of the geometry with cyclic conditions |
