Operation: the co-simulation scripts

Operation

The principal functioning characteristics are the following:

• Flux works in parallel with another software

• Data are exchanged via file (extension DEX: Data EXchange)

• The synchronization is carried out manually or via a command file

Co-simulation scripts

The co-simulation scripts are different with each physical phenomenon studied as shown in the tables below.

• Script 1: if physical phenomena are considered independent

  

  • Advantage: reduced computation time
  • Disadvantage: the thermal variations of the electric and magnetic properties of the materials cannot be taken into account
  • Example of use: definition of the initial parameters (voltages, powers, currents, initial time step, frequency), before launching a 2 nd script characterized by an extensive computation time.

• Script 2: if physical phenomena are interdependent

  

  • Advantage: thermal variations of the electric and magnetic properties of the materials can be taken into account
  • Disadvantage: expensive in terms of computation time
  • Utilization: determination …
