*ELECTRIC MACHINE PROPERTY

Define electric machine properties (or parameters) needed to apply electric machine loads.

This option is used to define electric machine properties (or parameters) that are needed to apply electric machine loads in the step data. These geometry properties include the name of the stator surface, the number of electric machine teeth, the number of two-dimensional electromagnetic slices, and the stator orientation.

Required parameters

NAME
Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to the electric machine property definition.

Electric machine property names in the same input file must be unique.

SURFACE

Set this parameter equal to a label that defines the stator surface name.

Data lines to define an electric machine property

First line

  1. Number of electric machine teeth.

  2. Number of slices.

  3. Number of lumping points (the default is one lumping point per tooth).

Second line, which defines the stator orientation (points a and b define the axial direction, and point c defines the middle of the electric machine first tooth line)

  1. X-coordinate of point a.

  2. Y-coordinate of point a.

  3. Z-coordinate of point a.

  4. X-coordinate of point b.

  5. Y-coordinate of point b.

  6. Z-coordinate of point b.

  7. X-coordinate of point c.

  8. Y-coordinate of point c.

  9. Z-coordinate of point c.

Third line

  1. Width of the first slice.

  2. Width of the second slice.

  3. Etc., up to the number of slices specified on the first data line.
