Is it possible to measure airgap flux density in rotor reference frame directly in Flux..?

Hi Pranav,

 

Not sure I understood the request, but in Flux you can measure the flux density where you want thanks to point sensors, or by creating a path.

Hello Farid, 

 

Thank you for your response. 

Basically, I am able to plot the flux density on the rotor surface using the sensors but that wave form is in the stator reference frame.  

• By stator reference frame I mean, it measures X and Y components of flux density at a particular point which has 90 Deg. phase shift. Probably, we could say that the wave forms are in alpha-Beta reference frame. 
• The ''Mechanical Set to Visualize the Borders' is set to Stator for this case. 
• Now, I wanted to plot these result in D-Q reference frame (i.e Rotor Reference frame)
• So, When I change the 'Mechanical Set to visualize the boarders' to Rotor ; It does not give me the D & Q horizontal line wave form. 
• Instead it still plots the same wave form as the rotor reference frame. 
• The Question I wanted to ask is if there is any way I would be able to get the D-Q axis flux density waveform directly by making any changes in how I define the sensor..? 
• I am have attached the sensor definition tab for your reference.

Hello Pranav;

 

The plot of a given quantity is always given on the global coordinate system XYZ. You can modify if you want the coordinate thanks to VLSC() feature.

 

If i inderstood well, you want to have a flux density (spatial distribution) and temporal distribution (vs time or rotor position)?

 

If yes, the best way to do it, is to make a path in the air gap, and plot a 3D curve on the path, this allow you to have temporal (rotor position) and spatial shape of the flux density in the airgap.

 

Or more if you want, you can use a 3D curve dedicated for rotating machine, it will make the same thing with few settings.

I hope this will help you 

 

Best regards

Hello Farid, 

 

Thank you again for your reply. I am actually trying to measure the flux density on a point located on the rotor surface. And I am looking for the changes in flux density on that particular point as the rotor completes one revolution. 

 

I tried using the 3D curve dedicated for the rotating machine, and I am receiving error. I guess one of the reasons could be that the model is completely build in 2D..?
