Stator/Rotor/Air Tab

To be set for solving rotating machinery and translational machinery in the magnetic transient analysis.

Either stator, rotor/mover. or air for the body is set on this tab.

The setting here is used for the following operation.

Sliding mesh creation
The details of meshing are explained at [Rotating machinery tab] and [Translational machinery tab].
Specify rotor in the torque calculation

It is shown in the [Edit Body Attribute] dialog box. See [How to Set Body Attribute/Material Property].

Setting Items

Notes

Stator/Rotor/Air

Set either one of the following for body.

Stator:

Calculated as non-rotating body in the rotating machinery analysis.

Rotor:

Calculated as rotating body.

Calculate torque of the rotor body.

Sliding meshes are created in the gap of stator and rotor.

(The detail of meshing is explained at [Rotating machinery tab])

Air:

Calculated as a body which is neither rotor nor stator.

Used only when Air Domain Creation is deactivated and air is created manually.

Stator:

Calculated as non-moving body in the translational machinery analysis.

Mover:

Calculated as a moving body in X direction.

Calculates electromagnetic force (propulsion) of the body that is set as a mover.

Sliding meshes are created in the gap of stator and mover.

(The details of sliding mesh are explained at [Translational Machinery tab].)

Air:

Calculated as a body which is neither mover nor stator.

Used only when Air Domain Creation is deactivated and air is created manually.
