Defining a Generic Rotating Machine

The general procedure for defining a generic rotating machine is as follows:

1. To insert a Generic Rotating Machine into a new or existing project, select Generate RMxprt Solutions for the Design Flow and General for the Machine Type.
2. Select the desired machine from the expandable list:

   

   Choose the machine type you wish to define from the following list:

   Induction Machines

   • Defining an Inner-Rotor Induction Machine
   • Defining an Outer-Rotor Induction Machine
   • Defining a Solid-Rotor Induction Machine
   • Defining a Wound-Rotor Induction Machine
   • Defining a Double-Fed Induction Generator
   • Defining an Axial-Flux Induction Machine
   • Defining a Hysteresis Machine

   Synchronous Machines

   • Defining a Rotating-Field Synchronous Machine
   • Defining a Rotating-Armature Synchronous Machine
   • Defining a Reluctance Synchronous Machine
   • Defining an IPM Synchronous Machine
   • Defining an Axial-Flux PM Synchronous Machine

   Electronic Commutating Machine

   • Defining an IPM Brushless DC Motor
   • Defining an Axial-Flux Brushless DC Motor

Refer to the Generic Rotating Machine application note, on the technical support page of the Ansys web site, for a specific example of a problem using a Generic Rotating Machine.
