Interfaces

For examples of the interface-files see Chapter 5.

Option Description
Field-Vector Matrix (Map) Write a file filename.matrf
CNC Machine files Endspacer machining file. With "3-D Coil Geometry"-option in "Main options".
Opera 8-node Bricks 3-D bricks of the coil end for the "Opera" field calculation program.
Opera 20-node Bricks 3-D bricks of the coil end for the "Opera" field calculation program.
Autocad Autocad (.dxf) file of coil cross-section.
MS Excel Produce a text-file, importable in MS Excel, of coil cross-section geometry.
Virtual Reality (3-D) Writes a filename.wrl-file which can be opened by any VRML-browser for an interactive 3-D-view of the coils.
2-D Line Currents Produces a filename.fila2-D-file which contains two tables: (1) a table with the corner points of the current-carrying areas and (2) a table with the position of the individual line currents in the model.
.iron File of Wedges Only works with the "Wedge/Endspacer"-option in the "Main Options". Creates a file called wedges.iron.
Coilmesh File Produces a coilmesh.iron-file with one area for each conductor.
Option Description
3-D Line Currents Produces a filename.fila3-D-file which contains information on the positioning of line currents in the 3-D coil model.
Extended Printout Add mostly geometrical information to the .output-file.
2-D Field Map in Coil Write the magnetic induction in the position of every strand to a file.
3-D Field Map in Coil Write the magnetic induction in the position of every strand in every intersection in $z$-direction to a file.
Input data from 'BEND' Read in coil end geometry from 'BEND' output file.
Write Multipoles for Pp. Write multipoles into text file (one line/time step) for post-precessing, e.g., in MS Excel.

  • In 2-D, the "Field-Vector Matrix (Map)"-option only produces a file if a matrix-option (MATR, MATRC or MATRP from the "Aperture"-menu) is chosen in the "Plotting Information 2-D"-widget.

  • The "Write Multipoles for Pp."-option will only yield relative multipoles. If the "no reference"-item is chosen in the "Type of Coil/Ref. Field"-field of the "Global Information" no output is written.

  • Without the "3-D Peak Field Calc."-option in the "Global Information 3-D", the "3-D Field Map in Coil"-option produces a file with only the geometrical information of strands in the coil end.
