Getting Started with RMxprt
RMxprt™ (Rotating Machines expert) is a template-based electrical machine design tool that provides fast, analytical calculations of machine performance and 2-D and 3-D geometry creation for detailed finite element calculations in Ansys® Maxwell®.
Using RMxprt, you can simulate and analyze the following types of machines:
- Three-phase and single-phase induction motors
- Three-phase synchronous machines
- Brushless permanent-magnet DC motors
- Adjust-speed synchronous motors and generators
- Permanent-magnet DC motors
- Switched reluctance motors
- Line-start permanent-magnet synchronous motors
- Universal motors
- General DC machines
- Claw-pole alternators
- Three-Phase Non-Salient Synchronous Machine
- Generic Rotating Machine
When you start to design a new model in RMxprt, you first select one of the above motor or generator types. You then enter the parameters associated with that machine type in each RMxprt Properties window. The properties windows are accessed by clicking each of the machine elements (for example, stator, rotor, shaft) under Machine in the Project Manager tree. General options are available directly at the Machine level of the Project Manager tree. Solution and output options (such as the rated output power) are set when you add a solution setup (by right-clicking Analysis in the Project Manager tree).
