Tutorials

The purpose of this section is to present some global tutorial on how to use Pyleecan. These first tutorials are an introduction to Pyleecan that we recommand to read in order.

• 01 - How to define a machine

• 02 - How to define a simulation to call FEMM

• 03 - How to plot results

• 04 - How to set the Operating Point

• 05 - How to compute currents, voltage and torque using the Electrical Module

• 06 - How to compute magnetic forces using Force Module

• 07 - How to compute losses using Loss Module

• How to run a multi-simulation

• 08 - How to run a Parameter Sweep of Variable speed simulation

• 09 - How to solve optimization problem in Pyleecan

• How to add a new slot in Pyleecan

How to run the tutorial

Each tutorial is generated from a Jupyter Notebook and can be seen on GitHub or downloaded in one of these archives:

• v1.5.0 released 28/04/23

• v1.4.0 released 02/09/22

To run the tutorials notebook, here is the procedure:

- pip install jupyter
- open a console terminal in the folder containing the Tutorials
- run the command "jupyter notebook"

The notebook should then be available in your web browser.

Validation simulations are also available in the Tests/Validation folder for inspiration.

Webinar

Three public and free webinars have been organized by Green Forge Coop and UNICAS University in 2020. Warning some information from these webinar are outdated ! The webinar resources are available here:

• How to use pyleecan (basics)? Pyleecan basics, call of FEMM, use of the GUI (2020/10/16)

• How to use pyleecan (advanced)? Optimization tools, meshing, plot commands (2020/10/30)

• How to contribute to pyleecan? Github projects, Object Oriented Programming (2020/11/06)

The current version of pyleecan may be different from the one presented during the webinars. The latest versions of the notebooks are available on Github.
