Class summary
AFStator Axial stator template
The AFStator is a template of a 2D axial-flux stator, modelled on a cylindrical surface with a constant radial coordinate.
Main dimensions:
- leff : effective length, outer minus inner radius
- Qs : number of stator slots
- delta : airgap length
- symmetry_sectors : number of rotational symmetry sectors
- axial_symmetry_sectors : number of axial symmetry sectors
Slot dimensions:
- w_slot_s : slot width
- w_slotOpening_s : slot opening width
- l_tooth_s : total axial length of the stator core
- htt_s : total height of the tooth tip region
- htt_taper_s : height of the straight part of the tooth tip (closest to the airgap). Note: must be strictly less than htt_s.
- hys : (OPTIONAL) Yoke thickness. The back of the yoke will be modelled as flux insulation (no flux crossing it).
Control parameters:
- two_sided: (OPTIONAL) is the design two-sided in reality, default true. For two-sided designs, only one axial half of the geometry is modelled, with a symmetry condition in the middle.
- model_both_sides : (OPTIONAL) Model and mesh both sides of a two-sided model.
- axial_symmetry_type : (OPTIONAL) if set to “toroidal”, then the axial boundary is modelled as Dirichlet / flux insulation type.
- is_toroidal : (OPTIONAL) Defaults to false. Set to true for modelling both sides of a design with a toroidal winding. Forces the number of winding ‘layers’ to be 2, with the two ‘layers’ wound around the stator yoke.
- mirror_geometry : (OPTIONAL) Turn geometry upside down. Defaults to false. Only works if model_both_sides is false.
Winding specification:
- stator_winding : stator winding specification object.
Materials:
- stator_core_material : core material
- stator_stacking_factor : core stacking factor, normally < 1.
