Vent Data for Generic Rotating Machines

Optionally, you can insert or remove Vent data for generic rotating machines that have either an Inner Rotor or Outer Rotor Structure. If you have inserted a Vent, the icon appears under the core slot in the project tree.

Note: This section does not apply to the SALNT_POLE, NONS_RELU, or SOLID rotor types.

To insert a vent:

Right-click on the stator or rotor core icon to display the pop-up menu.
Click Insert Vent.

To remove an existing vent:

Right-click on the stator or rotor icon to display the pop-up menu.
Click Remove Vent.

The vent data Properties dialog box contains the following fields.

Vent Ducts	Number of radial vent ducts. Default is 0.
Duct Width	Width of radial vent ducts.
Magnetic Spacer Width	Width of magnetic spacer which hold vent ducts. 0 for non-magnetic spacer.
Duct Pitch	Vent ducts
Holes per Row	Number of axial vent holes per row Not available for SLOT_CAGE rotor type.
Inner Hole Diameter	Diameter of vent holes in inner row. Not available for SLOT_CAGE rotor type.
Outer Hole Diameter	Diameter of vent holes in outer row. Not available for SLOT_CAGE rotor type.
Inner Hole Location	Center-to-center diameter of inner row hole vents. Not available for SLOT_CAGE rotor type.
Outer Hole Location	Center-to-center diameter of outer row hole vents. Not available for SLOT_CAGE rotor type.
