DOCUMENTATION FOR THE PERMANENT MAGNET STATOR PARAMETRIC MODEL
                                 <PMSTAT_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 stator
     are contained the plot file "pm_stat.doc".  These plots can
     be accessed by the DISPLAY program using the file "pm_stat.doc".


  2) The parameter file can also contain the material properties:

             Air               Material Number 1
             Stator iron       Material Number 5
             Stator magnet     Material Number 6

      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:


       stat_id='pmstat'  The stator model type identifier. (This prevent
                         other model macros from using the data for the
                         PM stator.)

       smagw = angle of magnet, smagw=180, implies that the poles are touching.

       npole = number of poles

       nsp   = number of permanent magnets

       nspgen= number of stator 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)

       stref  = level of mesh refinement for the stator
       (1 for least refinement, 5 for greatest refinement)



       mname = identification to be printed out in summaries


    NOTE:

      At the completion of the stator generation, the stator elements and
      nodes are contained in the component group "STATOR". This identification
      is necessary for the other Toolbar items to function.
