Summary for: compute_SolidConductorLosses

compute_SolidConductorLosses Compute losses in solid conductor.

Low-level method for loss computation in solid conductors.

[Pmean, P, J] = compute_SolidConductorLosses(winding, A, u, pars, varargin) where,

  • Pmean : mean losses ignoring the first 10 % of the simulated time-steps
  • P : per-conductor loss waveform. Due to differentiation, one time-step shorter than the simulation
  • J : cell array of per-conductor current densities for each conductor and each time-step (minus 1). Evaluated at the mesh nodes belonging to said conductors.

Key-value pairs:

  • ‘axlims’ : axis limits. Either a 1x4 vector, nan (let Matlab determine limits), or [] to fit based on motor size (radial-flux only)

  • ‘Jlim’ : current density color axis limit. [] to determine automatically.

  • ‘steps’ : vector of time-step indices to plot, e.g. 10:20.

  • ‘conductors’ : vector of conductor indices to plot. Default all.

  • ‘plot_geometry’ : plot the rest of the geometry? Default true.

  • ‘plot_rms’ : Plot rms current density instead.
