Defining a Hysteresis Machine

The general procedure for defining a Hysteresis Machine is as follows:

  1. Insert a Hysteresis Machine into a new or existing project by choosing Generate RMxprt Solutions for the Design Flow, General for the Machine Type, then select Hysteresis Machine from the expandable list.

  2. Click the Machine entry in the project tree to set the machine properties as shown:

  3. Click to expand the Machine > Stator entry in the project tree to define data for the stator and its associated core and core slot, winding, and optionally, vent for the SLOT_AC core type.
  4. Click to expand the Machine > Rotor entry in the project tree to define data for the rotor core for the SOLID core type, where Sleeve Type is set to Hysteresis.
  5. Click the Machine > Shaft entry in the project tree to define the magnetism, frictional and windage losses, and reference speed of the shaft.

  6. Optionally, right-click the Machine entry in the project tree and click Insert Housing to add a machine housing.

  7. Right-click Analysis in the project tree, and click Add Solution Setup to define the solution data.

  8. Choose File > Save to save the project.
  9. Choose RMxprt > Analyze to analyze the design.

Once analyzed, the model can be used to create a new Maxwell 2D or 3D design.
