Study Conditions All the conditions and circuit for the study are already set. This is done by JMAG Express and imported along with the geometry into Designer. We will look at few of these condition settings in detail. Copyright 2012 JSOL Corp. All Rights Reserved http://www.jmag-international.com/ 69

Groups and Sets Grouping works best for similar components (i.e. all the Coils) In the Assembly tab, you can group components by: Material Name Number of characters (4 or 6) Sets are simply sub groups where the components are grouped by conditions that apply to them For custom templates, JMAG automatically creates the groups by part names and conditions are assigned using sets created by user.

Rotational Periodic Boundary The size of the analysis model can be reduced when the model has rotational periodicity. This model has a rotational periodicity of 90 o and the periodicity nature is set to be Antiperiodic Copyright 2012 JSOL Corp. All Rights Reserved http://www.jmag-international.com/ 71

Periodic Versus Antiperiodic The periodic boundary condition means that flux is the same for each period The anti-periodic boundary condition means that flux is reversing each period The axial reverse boundary condition applies to models whose cross section vertically reverses each period (claw pole motor) Copyright 2012 JSOL Corp. All Rights Reserved http://www.jmag-international.com/ 72

Types of Boundary Symmetry Boundary: Magnetic flux flow parallel and current flows perpendicular to the symmetry boundary. Natural Boundary: Magnetic flux flow perpendicular and current flows parallel to the natural boundary. Note: The boundary conditions set field properties, but in terms of results are purely mathematical constraints Copyright 2012 JSOL Corp. All Rights Reserved http://www.jmag-international.com/ 73

Notes on Boundaries Periodic Boundary: Multiplies the result by the periodicity. Symmetry Boundary: If sufficient air region is not created surrounding the model the flux is forced to flow parallel to external boundary Natural Boundary: Magnetic flux is forced to flow perpendicular to the boundary even if it is not perpendicular in reality Copyright 2012 JSOL Corp. All Rights Reserved http://www.jmag-international.com/ 74

Rotational Motion Condition Defines motion in a rotating model Can be in various forms: Constant Revolution Speed Constant displacement Speed point sequence Displacement point sequence Cumulative displacement point sequence Equation of motion Link to external simulator Can add rotor eccentricity Both static and dynamic eccentricity Can set the initial rotor position Set RPM to 1800 and set initial position to 0 Copyright 2012 JSOL Corp. All Rights Reserved http://www.jmag-international.com/ 75

Torque Nodal Force: calculates the torque based on the electromagnetic force acting on each node. This method works best for electric machine rotors Lorentz Force: calculates the Lorentz force and the torque based on that force. This method is used to calculate the torque in a non magnetic material such as a coil. Surface Force: calculates the torque based on the integral value of electromagnetic force acting on a face of edge. This condition can be used when the magnetic material is in contact with another magnetic material, or where the electromagnetic force is acting on a part of the magnetic material.

Mesh Tips Areas where flux is changing rapidly usually require a finer mesh The air gap mesh of an electric machine is critical Make sure that the mesh is uniform in the stator and rotor sections closest to the air gap Each time step should move the rotor approximately 1 element Adaptive meshing is useful in 2D but may take too long in 3D A course mesh will run quickly, but may not be accurate while a fine mesh will run more slowly and may or may not be more accurate. Mesh is highly controllable in JMAG Copyright 2012 JSOL Corp. All Rights Reserved http://www.jmag-international.com/ 77

Mesh Properties Basic Settings: Right Click on Mesh and select Properties This opens the Basic Settings Tab Meshing types: Standard Mesh Slide Mesh Choose the Generation Method Method 2 is currently the most efficient method Scale controls the size of the air region generated outside the model. Change this to 1.05 Slide division is applicable if slide mesh is selected Specify the Radial Divisions (between rotor and stator) to 5 Specify the Circumferential Divisions (from the first periodic boundary to the second periodic boundary) to 180 If the model has multiple rotating parts, multiple slide planes can be created Copyright 2012 JSOL Corp. All Rights Reserved http://www.jmag-international.com/ 78

Mesh Properties Element Size: A global element size can be specified for parts and air region Set element size for parts as 1 mm air region as 2mm Adaptive Adaptive meshing can be toggled On/Off from here. Copyright 2012 JSOL Corp. All Rights Reserved http://www.jmag-international.com/ 79

Setting Mesh Features Running the analysis through Express will use Adaptive mesh. Since we will not use adaptive meshing, some mesh settings need to be specified Right click on Mesh and select Add Size Control on part. Select the Magnets as target and specify a size of 0.5 mm Copyright 2012 JSOL Corp. All Rights Reserved http://www.jmag-international.com/ 80

Setting Mesh Features Similarly add a size control on the edge feature and select all the edges of rotor and stator next to the air gap. Also select the edges at the barrier of the magnet. Right click on the Mesh and select Rotating Periodic Mesh with Automatic. This will enable JMAG meshing algorithm to automatically detect periodic geometry and apply similar mesh to each segment.
