Here is a presentation of the Flux environment; the project management, the data management, the command language, the formulas and mathematical functions.
Flux allows to model different physical phenomena, and includes various applications (magnetic, electrical, thermal and thermal coupled).
Flux is coupled to a circuit context allowing to model the sources of the devices.Flux also allow to model the movement via a kinematic coupling.
Flux is able to couple with several softwares allowing to model mutliphysics phenomena.
Several dedicated couplings are implemented in Flux to, carry out vibro-acoustic studies, magneto-thermal studies and more.
Flux has predefined models for rotating machines via Overlays allowing to describe a geometry, a mesh and a physics adapted to the wished machine.
Flux Skew is a module allowing to facilitate the realization of a quasi 3D or 2 ½ D study starting from a 2D description.
Flux PEEC is a 3D modeling module dedicated to electrical interconnections of power electronics devices. It also provides RLC extraction and generation of SPICE-like equivalent circuits.
Flux provides a unified Material Identification tool based on the Altair Compose environment allowing to run an identification of the coefficients required to create material in Flux.
Flux has a material manager with its own material base.The user can create his own material base and import them into the Flux models to be studied.
FeMt is a application in Flux dedicated for Electric Machine which permits to compute and postprocess results like efficiency maps.
See the lists of examples 2D, 3D, SKEW and PEEC with all available documents and all project and python files.
