magnetic material properties

VERSION = 1
get_BH()

Return the B(H) curve of the material according to the Import object. If there is no B(H) curve linear data are computed from mur_lin.

Parameters:

self (MatMagnetics) – a MatMagnetics object

Returns:

BH – B(H) values (two colums matrix: H and B(H))

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

plot_BH(fig=None, grid=True, color='r', is_show_fig=True)

Plot the curve B(H) at the specified frequency

Parameters:

  • self (MatMagnetics) – a MatMagnetics object

  • fig – if None, open a new fig and plot, else add to the gcf (Default value = None)

Return type:

None

get_Hc(T_op=None, T_ref=20)

Get magnetic excitation coercitivity

Parameters:

  • self (MatMagnetics) – a MatMagnetics object

  • T_op (float) – Material operational temperature [degC]

  • T_ref (float) – Material reference temperature [degC]

Returns:

Hc – Magnetic excitation coercitivity

Return type:

float

get_Brm(T_op=None, T_ref=20)

Get magnetic remanent flux density

Parameters:

  • self (MatMagnetics) – a MatMagnetics object

  • T_op (float) – Material operational temperature [degC]

  • T_ref (float) – Material reference temperature [degC]

Returns:

Brm – Magnetic remanent flux density

Return type:

float

save(save_path='', is_folder=False, type_handle_old=2, type_compression=0)

Save the object to the save_path

Parameters:

  • self – A pyleecan object

  • save_path (str) – path to the folder to save the object

  • is_folder (bool) – to split the object in different files: separate simulation machine and materials (json only)

  • type_handle_old (int) – How to handle old file in folder mode (0:Nothing, 1:Delete, 2:Move to “Backup” folder)

  • type_compression (int) – Available only for json, 0: no compression, 1: gzip

get_logger()

Get the object logger or its parent’s one

Parameters:

obj – A pyleecan object

Returns:

logger – Pyleecan object dedicated logger

Return type:

logging.Logger

compare(other, name='self', ignore_list=None, is_add_value=False)[source]

Compare two objects and return list of differences

as_dict(type_handle_ndarray=0, keep_function=False, **kwargs)[source]

Convert this object in a json serializable dict (can be use in __init__). type_handle_ndarray: int

How to handle ndarray (0: tolist, 1: copy, 2: nothing)

keep_functionbool

True to keep the function object, else return str

Optional keyword input parameter is for internal use only and may prevent json serializability.

copy()[source]
