DOCUMENTATION FOR THE ROTOR PARAMETRIC MODEL
CASE: UNIFORM TOOTH SHANK (OPEN BAR)
<SLOT_R_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 into
a single file with the parameters for the rotor and the stator.
1) The geometry parameters related to the dimensions of the rotor
are contained the plot file "slotrot.doc". These plots can
be accessed by the DISPLAY program using the file "slotrot.doc".
2) The parameter file can also contain the material properties:
Air Material Number 1
Rotor iron Material Number 2
Rotor conductor Material Number 3
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='slotrot' The rotor model type identifier. (This prevents
other model macros from using the data for the
slotted rotor.)
nrp = number of rotor slots
nconr = number of phases per slot (maximum of 2)
nrpgen= number of rotor teeth 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
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.
