Translational Machinery Tab

Translational machinery conditions for the magnetic transient analysis are set on this tab.

It is in the [Analysis Condition Setting] dialog box. See also [How to Set Analysis Condition].

Setting Item	Notes
Translational Move	Moving Speed Sets the moving speed of the mover. Select [Mover] on the [Stator/Rotor/Air] tab for the body attribute to create the mover body. The traveling direction is +X axis on the modeling window. Enter negative value to reverse the direction. If the direction is not what you want, rotate the body to adjust the direction. Analysis that does not specify velocity cannot be performed, such as a motion-coupled analysis that solves velocity from a stationary state.
The Number of Sliding Mesh Divisions	Sets the number of sliding mesh divisions. Sliding Mesh: To analyze the translational machinery, only mover’s meshes are set to translate. The sliding meshes are generated in the gap between mover and stator to align the meshes of the sliding part. Triangular prism meshes are created. Division Size in Traveling Direction Specifies the circumferential mesh division size of the translational machinery. This is a minimum translational moving unit per timestep. Traveling Quantity per Step Sets the traveling quantity per step the step condition specified on the [Transient analysis tab]. The unit is [mesh]. If the value is 1, the movement is 1 step. The translating machinery travels for a distance set by [Division Size in Traveling Direction] If the value is n, the movement is at the multiple of n. The Number of Sliding Mesh Layers Specifies the number of sliding mesh layers
Location of Sliding Mesh	Specifies the location of sliding mesh (the gap between rotor and stator). Automatic Calculation Calculates the sliding mesh location automatically. Generally this option is selected. Deselect it only when the automatic calculation does not work. Set the parameters manually as follows. Automatic calculation is based on the gap type and the setting of [Stator/Mover/Air] of the body attribute. Normal Coordinate to Traveling Axis of Gap (Y coordinate) Specifies the coordinates of the upper and lower sides the gap between mover and stator in the Y direction. Enter the values in the increasing order. Normal Coordinate to Traveling Axis of Gap (Z coordinate) Specifies the coordinates of the upper and lower sides the gap between mover and stator in the Z direction. Enter the values in the increasing order.
