Summary for: ModelSlice < handle
Class summary
ModelSlice Base class for representing slices.
This class is intended to be used for sliced models, i.e. models where the essentially the same 2D geometry is repeated multiple times, with perhaps some differences such as the rotor angle or the slice radius of a sliced axial-flux model.
Model hierarchy-wise, a ModelSlice resides between an actual Model, and the GeoBase geometries.
Specifically, a ModelSlice class supports the following functionality:
- containing a copy of the model dimensions
- containing the geometries of a single slice, in
this.components, further grossly divided into stators and rotors - containing zero, one, or multiple airgaps
- adding the contained geometries to the parent model, on request
- adding the containe dairgaps to the parent model, on request
Properties
.airgaps - airgaps added
.component_types - type of each component, “stator”/”rotor”
.components - all stators and rotors added
.dimensions - dimensions struct
.ModelSlice/rotor is a property.
.ModelSlice/stator is a property.
Methods
Class methods are listed below. Inherited methods are not included.
.add_gap Add an airgap to the slice.
add_gap(this, arg1, arg2) adds an airgap to the slice.
The input arguments arg1 and arg2 can both either be
- a stator/rotor geometry object
- A struct s with two fields:
- s.component = a stator/rotor geometry component
- s.boundary = name (char) of the boundary in s.component.boundaries that the gap attachs to.
.add_gaps_to_model Add airgaps to the parent model.
add_gaps_to_model(this, model) adds the contained airgap to model.
.add_geometries_to_model Add geometries to the parent model.
add_geometries_to_model(this, model, slice_number) adds the geometries of this slice to the parent model model (assumed a subclass of MotorModelBase) as the slice_numberth slice.
.add_rotor Add a rotor component to the slice.
add_rotor(this, geometry) adds the geometry to the slice as a rotating component. The geometry can be either a non-initialized GeoBase object, or the corresponding class name.
.add_single_component Low level adder method.
add_single_component(this, geom) adds the geometry geom to this. Not recommended to be called as such; the main entry points should be the add_stator and add_rotor methods.
.add_stator Add a stator component to the slice.
add_stator(this, geometry) adds the geometry to the slice as a non-rotating component. The geometry can be either a non-initialized GeoBase object, or the corresponding class name.
.initialize_geometry Initialize the given geometry.
init_geom = initialize_geometry(this, geom) (re-)initializes the given geometry geom, by (re-)calling the corresponding class constructor.
