Active Power vs Joule Losses

Dear sir/madame,

 

This topic arises using the 'Computation / On physical Entity / Compute' tool in a solid conductor.

Im my humble experience with this software, I've been wrong on what it means the Active Power & the Joule losses: Until now, the calculated active power was higher than the joule losses that is why I thought that the Joule Losses were a fraction oc the active Power. The thing is that in some actual simulations, I witnessed the opposite.

 

As a consequence, I would like to know how flux calcules and what takes into account in this two losses.

 

Best regards,

Andoni

    Dear Andoni,

     

    About the difference between active power and Joule losses I think you will find an explanation in Flux help, more precisely:

    C:/ProgramFiles/Altair/2019/flux/Flux/Help/Flux/english/Website/index.html?InterpretationDesResultatsPuissancesEtPertes.htm

    where C:/ProgramFiles/Altair/2019/ should be replaced by your Flux installation directory.

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,

    Alejandro
