Opera 16: Electromagnetic & Multiphysics Software for Designers
The latest version of Vector Fields Software''s electromagnetic and multiphysics simulation software suite, Opera 16, includes many significant new capabilities and enhancements. These are summarised briefly below. Please see the new-features document which is distributed with the software for more information.
General:
New Graphing Capability
Functional Capacitors and Inductors in Circuits
Opera-2d and Opera-3d now make use of a new common graphing capability. The graphing function now works on the concept of buffers and lines being dynamically added/displayed on a dedicated graphing pane. Each of the graphing objects has a right-click context-sensitive menu allowing appropriate commands to be executed on the object. A wealth of properties can be adjusted by the user to assemble a graph to their exact requirements, including:
displayed text and fonts for title, axes labels, legend and annotation;
scale type (linear or log10) and limits for axes;
colours for lines, grid, axes, background and border;
styles for lines and grids;
symbol types and their size.
The previous graphing commands have been preserved for compatibility with previous command input files.
Functional Capacitors and Inductors in Circuits
Opera-2d and Opera-3d incorporate a Circuit Editor to allow drive circuits to be defined and solved as part of an electromagnetic solution. The capacitors and inductors in those circuits can now be functional, ie the values used for capacitance and inductance are calculated during an analysis and can be dependent upon other values calculated during the analysis.
Opera-2d
Machines Environments Enhancements
Enhancements have made to some of the machine types in the Opera-2d Machines Environment, including:
Current Density Input - During preliminary design, users are now able to input currents in windings using a user defined maximum realistic current density (due to thermal constraints) and then evaluate the winding current (and voltage in some simulations).
Average Torque - The average torque is calculated by integration over the period and presented in the summary dialog.
Active Mass - The active mass of the machine is evaluated based on the user defined material density. The mass evaluations can be used as constraints for the optimizer run.
Average Flux Densities in Stator and Rotor - The purpose of this is to determine if material is being underused or, worse, subject to severe saturation. Average flux density is calculated for the machine for different rotor positions, and the flux density plot for the maximum average flux density case is saved in the results folder.
Opera-3d
Automated Multiphysics
Automated (chained) Multi-physics analysis has been introduced in Opera-3d. This means that it is now possible to use the Modeller to set up several analyses of the same model in a single database and solve them in sequence.
The analyses can solve different physics types: electromagnetic, thermal or stress. The results of one analysis will be used as the data for subsequent analyses. Data such as material properties can be updated using the output of the preceding analysis.
The existing method of multiphysics using table & command files is still available.
Deformed Mesh Input
The deformed mesh from a stress analysis can be automatically used in subsequent electromagnetic and thermal analyses in a chained multiphysics analysis. In the required electromagnetic and/or thermal analysis merely tick "Update mesh with displacements" in the Analysis data dialog.
Parallel Solution
Multi-core Parallel processing is available for Opera-3d solvers. This is controlled using a setting in the batch options, and is a licensed feature. Contact your local representative for further details on likely throughput improvements for your particular analyses.
Sputter Magnetron Coaters
A new volume plasma emitter has been added that can be used to simulate the steady state ion current flow from a magnetized plasma and used to simulate sputter magnetron coaters.
The spatial distribution of the ionized gas created by the high energy electrons is determined and the plasma density at the plasma surface is then calculated. The position of the plasma surface is determined by iteration; the change in electric fields produced by the space charge of ion and electron flow outside the plasma is recalculated at each iteration and the modified ionization rate is then found. A self consistent voltage, ion and electron flow is determined.
A new machine template was added, which allows modelling of synchronous reluctance machines. Two basic types of rotor geometries were added; circular and trapezoidal rotor voids.
New geometric details were added to the definition of Switched Reluctance Machines in the Opera-3d Machines Environment. In addition, two new analysis types were added:
Magnetostatic - The magnetostatic analysis for SRMs is split into three stages: the first stage creates a series of static jobs for range of current with rotor aligned; the second stage creates series of static jobs for different rotor positions between the aligned and unaligned rotor positions; and the last stage creates series of static jobs for range of current with rotor unaligned. The magnetostatic analysis calculates flux linkage vs. rotor position, flux linkage vs. current for aligned and unaligned positions and torque vs. angle.
Dynamic - The dynamic analysis for the switch reluctance machine uses the mechanically coupled option. Based on the geometry of the machine and on the number of phases selected, the switching strategy is calculated. A hysteretic speed control is implemented as a control strategy. The dynamic analysis calculates torque vs. angle at a given speed and advance angle. It also estimates the iron losses in the stator and or rotor sections.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
