Dynamic co-simulation

[wallscheid]

Really exciting project, which is advancing here - large praise to the project group!

After going through the tutorials and documentation it seems that the simulation so far is always working with predefined current waveforms in a (quasi-)static fashion - is that correct or did I missed something?

In particular, I'm looking for a dynamic simulation mode where the voltage applied to the motor terminals is the input quantity to the simulation resulting in current and torque waveforms over time as outputs. If such a mode is available one could easily integrate the pyleecan toolbox within a co-simulation framework (adding power electronics, controller and mechanical load models) which would be very nice for certain investigations like accurate loss modeling or (automatic) controller tuning.

Is such a feature already available or plant for the fture?

Hello Wallscheid,

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Yes, the magnetic model of pyleecan that is calling FEMM is exactly working as you described: quasi-static with imposed current and rotor position.

Concerning your last question, we are currently discussing about developing a dynamic simulation mode that can couple electric and magnetic resolution using the coupling with Elmer (see #202 #205).

Besides, you can have a look to the general issue (#214) that summarizes the mid/long-term roadmap of pyleecan developments and that we'll present during tomorrow's webinar on how to contribute to pyleecan (https://www.pyleecan.org/tutorials.html).

Best regards,
Emile
