DOCUMENTATION FOR THE PERMANENT MAGNET ROTOR PARAMETRIC MODEL
<PMROTO_H>
All parameters are to be contained in a single file whose filename
has the extention "des". (e.g., mach1.des) The first part of the
filename is the item entered in the ANSYS Input window when "GET_DIMS" is
selected from the Toolbar. When entering this filename, the characters
must be enclosed in single quotes ( e.g. 'mach1' for the
parameter file "mach1.des" ). These parameters can be combined with
those for the stator into a single file.
1) The geometry parameters related to the dimensions of the rotor
are contained the plot file "pm_rotor.doc". These plots can
be accessed by the DISPLAY program using the file "pm_rotor.doc".
2) The parameter file can also contain the material properties:
Air Material Number 1
Rotor iron Material Number 2
Rotor magnet Material Number 3
If the radial magnitization option is used, the macro will copy the
properties from material 3 to another material number and reverse the
sign for the Hc.
If the parameter file contains material properties, enter into
the Preprocessor before selecting {GET_DIMS} from the Toolbar.
The following additional distinction for the air elements in the air
gap has been made:
Air on the rotor side of the air gap: REAL SET 5
Air on the stator side of the air gap: REAL SET 6
3) The remaining scalar parameters are defined below:
rotor_id='pmrotor' The rotor model type identifier. (This prevents
other model macros from using the data for the
PM rotor.)
rad_mag = 0 for parallel magnitization
1 for radial magnitization
loaf=0 sides of the magnet are radial
=1 sides of the magnet are circumferential
embed=0 rotor iron stops at the base of the magnet
=1 rotor iron stops at the top of the magnet
npole = number of poles
nrp = number of permanent magnets
nrpgen= number of rotor magnets to be generated
ggeom = the length conversion factor from the units of the
parameters to meters (for English to MKS, ggeom=.0254)
stkthk= length of stack (used in computing the torque)
rref = level of mesh refinement for the rotor
(1 for least refinement, 5 for greatest refinement)
mname = identification to be printed out in summaries
Parameters used if the ToolBar is used to build the model:
USE_53=0, use plane13 elements, =1, use plane53 elements
F_MESH=mesh control at the back iron, F_MESH=1 least control, F_MESH=4, the mesh
in the backiron is coarse
NOTE:
At the completion of the rotor generation, the rotor elements and
nodes are contained in the component group "ROTOR". This identification
is necessary for the other Toolbar items to function.
The iron and the magnet elements are in the element componen R_IRON
