Rotating machine simulation extends the transient eddy current simulation module to include the effects of rigid body (rotating) motion. Windings in the model can be connected to external circuits which may be defined through a circuit layout window. Alternatively the transient simulation may be connected to the Simulink system simulator. User defined coupling to mechanical equations is available as well as specification of functional drives to define the action of electronic controllers accounting for position or current feedback. Coupling to ordinary differential equations may also be added to simulate other rotating components on the same shaft - for example; fans and turbines. Up to three independantly rotating groups may be included in the model. |
