Variables for Optimetrics


Pole Embrace
Pole Embrace indicates how much of a pole is covered by a magnet
We will study the effect of variation in Pole Embrace on Cogging Torque
The value of PoleEmbrace is set to 0.65 in input file
This can be checked by expanding Project Manager tree to view Machine >
Rotor > Pole
Double click on the tab Pole to view Pole Embrace value
Change the value to 0.5 to see the effect.
Set the value to 0.65
Press OK

Optimization Analysis in RMxprt


Parametric analysis involves all possible variations of the input variable(s)
For a refined analysis and for the analysis involving many variables, the number
of needed variations can grow rapidly and may become computationally
demanding
An alternative approach is to use optimization analysis, where a defined
algorithm searches for the optimum value automatically without a need of going
through all possible variations
The following example shows the application of Sequential Nonlinear
Programming optimization algorithm for the minimization of the cogging torque
To Set Variables for Optimization
Select the menu item RMxprt > Design Properties
In Properties window,
Change the value of PoleEmbrace to 0.65
Set the radio button to Optimization
Include:  Checked
Min: 0.55
Max: 0.75
