Summary for: RFThermalModel < ThermalModel

Class summary

RFThermalModel Simple thermal model for radial-flux machines.

The RFThermalModel.from_model(motor) static method sets up a thermal model including

• StrandedWindingThermalModel for the stator winding
• SimpleJacketThermalModel on the stator yoke-side boundary
• AirgapThermalModel on the airgap

Apart from the stator end-windings, only in-plane heat fluxes are modelled.

Build factors are included as follows:

• motor.build_factor_for_iron_losses is applied as a multiplier to the elementwise iron losses
• motor.build_factor_for_winding_losses is applied to the motor.stator(1).winding object only.
