Specifying RMxprt Solution Settings

Specify how RMxprt computes a solution by adding a solution setup to the design. You can define more than one solution setup per design.

To add a solution setup to a design:

  1. Select a design in the Project Manager tree.
  2. Click RMxprt > Analysis Setup > Add Solution Setup.

    3. Alternatively, right-click Analysis in the Project Manager tree, and then click Add Solution Setup on the shortcut menu.

    The Solution Setup window appears. It is divided among the following tabs:


    General

    Includes general solution settings, including rated output power, speed, operating temperature, etc.

    <machine type>

    Includes settings specific to the selected machine type.

    Defaults

    Includes settings to save and clear user-defined default values.

  3. Click the General tab.
  4. If available for the machine you are using, select an Operation Type from the drop-down menu.

    5. This may be Motor or Generator.

    Note: To enable selection of Generator for Adjust-Speed Synchronous Machines, the machine Control Type must be set to AC in its Properties window.

    When you make the selection, this makes a difference in the Load Type available.

  5. Select a Load Type from the drop-down menu. For Motor operation, the options are
    • Const Speed
    • Const Power
    • Const Torque
    • Linear Torque
    • Fan Load

    If the model has an Operation Type, and you select Generator, the Load Type options are

    • Infinite Bus
    • Independent Generator
  6. Type the Rated Output Power, and select the units.
  7. Type the Rated Voltage, and select the units.
  8. Type the Rated Speed, and select the units.
  9. Type the Operating Temperature, and select the units.
  10. Click the <machine type> tab (if any for this machine).

    11. The options vary depending on the machine. For example, the 3-Phase Induction Motor includes options for

    • Frequency and Units
    • Winding Connection (Wye or Delta).

    The 3-Phase Synchronous Machine includes options for

    • Rated Power Factor
    • Winding Connection (Wye or Delta)
    • Exciter Efficiency
    • Input Exciting current and units

    The Brushless DC Motor does not use the <machine type> tab.

  11. Specify the desired settings, based on the machine type you have selected.
  12. Click OK.
Note: To edit a setup after it has been created, right-click the specific setup (for example, Setup1), under Analysis in the Project Manager tree, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.
