STEADY_STATE_THERMAL.PFM
Description
Instead of writing a scenario for a steady state thermal application, this macro will directly mesh and solve the project. To do so a geometry must be previously generated using INIT_AFIR or AFIR_THERMAL.
Input
- PROJECT_NAME: the project in which the simulation will be saved
- JOULE_LOSSES: Global copper losses of the machine
- MAGNETS_LOSSES: Global losses in the magnets
- STATOR_IRON_LOSSES: Global iron losses in the stator region(s)
- ROTOR_IRON_LOSSES: Global iron losses in the rotor region(s)
- COIL_RESISTIVITY: Thermal resistivity of the coil’s conductor (generally copper)
- MAGNET_RESISTIVITY: Thermal resistivity of the magnets
- YOKE_RESISTIVITY: Thermal resistivity of the iron (rotor and stator)
- INSULATION_RESISTIVITY: Thermal resistivity of the coil’s insulation
- OIL_RESISTIVITY: Thermal resistivity of the oil where the coils are embedded
- FLUID_TEMPERATURE: Temperature of the cooling fluid
Output
- A steady state thermal simulation according with the inputs
