Control Program File Formats in Transient Solutions
User control programs and related files have their own file formats that should be followed when creating control program files.
- User-Control File Format
- Solution and Previous Control File Formats
-
Output variable values are output to a file with a fixed name of outputvar.ctl. The file contents use the following format:
<output variable name> <output variable value>
<output variable name> <output variable value>
...
The following summarizes the files related to user control programs for transient solutions.
| File Name | Functionality |
|---|---|
| user.ctl | Input data that controls Maxwell Solver |
| solution.ctl | Data for global quantities such torque, current, speed, etc. |
| previous.ctl | Same data as solution.ctl but for previous timestep |
| outputvar.ctl | Contains expression cache variables |
| var.data | Variations information from design and project variables |
| afield.ctl | Magnetic potential (available only in 2D and 3D A-Phi solver) |
| bfield.ctl | Magnetic flux density |
| hfield.ctl | Magnetic field strength |
| jfield.ctl | Electric current density |
| phifield.ctl | Electric Scalar Potential (available only in 3D A-Phi solver) |
