SalientPoleCore UDP

The SalientPoleCore UDP is used to create a salient-pole core, a field winding, and a damper for salient-pole synchronous machines. It can also create a coil cross-section used as a terminal for current assignment.

These parameters are used in the following figures. In figures with both gray and red objects, the gray objects are used as references.

Salient Pole Core (InfoCore set to 0)

This UDP supports two pole types for outer cores, as shown below:

But this UDP supports only one pole type for inner cores:

Axial parameters for coils are shown in the following figure:
