Macro definition : CreateLookUpTableFromTMProjectDQLight
Goal of the This macro intends to create look up table of flux_dq, Ld, Lq and torque
macro versus Id, Iq and rotor position. Dynamic inductances are also computed
including cross components, with the derivative of flux_dq versus rotor
position. The goal is for analysis on the system part (like with Activate for
instance). It will create a new Magneto-Static project from the magnetic
transient one. In the Magneto-Static project the current is driven with Id and
Iq allowing to extract easily all the needed tables. At the end of the oml file in
comment there is the possibility to display Ld, Lq and torque versus Id and Iq
with Altair Compose.

The output will be an oml file called name_of_project_MS_table_res.oml.
Figure 2: example of output file
Note that there are some pre-requisite to fulfil:
• The circuit has to have only 3 coil conductors
• No compressible mechanical set
• Delete all results

Install a macro
Installing a Once you have taken a new macro (from a colleague or from Altair web site
macro ([Link] you have to unzip it in the
following directory (for standard installation):
• C:\Program Files\Altair\2021\flux\Extensions\Macros
Note Macro has to be directly in folder:
C:\Program Files\Altair\2021\flux\Extensions\Macros
Calling a macro In order to use a macro, you have to follow the next steps:
Step Actions
1 Open Flux
2 Click on [Project] [Macro] [Load], and select the right macro
3 To run a macro, you have to click on [Project] [Macro] [Run]
Then select the macro you want to run.

Input:
• Current in 3 supplies
• Select mobile mechanical set
• Select fixed mechanical set
• Max value for Id
• Number of values for Id (odd)
• Number of poles
• Number of pole pairs represented in geometry (0.5 for
one pole)
• Number of stator periodicities
• Number of steps in one third of the electric period
• Period for rotation (in degrees)
Output:
• Create a result OML file with name created from the
initial file (*_res.oml)
• It will also include more data such as phase resistance,
end winding inductance, electric period and initial
rotor position plus possibility to display values in
