Interface Reference Manual
One page per tab of the TRAFOLO window, in the order of the sidebar. Work through the tabs from top to bottom.
| Group | Tab | What you set there |
|---|---|---|
| SYSTEM | Setup | Simulation type for electromagnetics and heat transfer; Full or Symmetric domain; phases; Without Circuits |
| SYSTEM | Materials | Material library: conductivity, B-H curve or permeability, core loss, thermal properties |
| GEOMETRY | Cad Editor | Import and edit CAD geometry |
| GEOMETRY | Core | Core shape from the Geometry Builder or a CAD file; gaps |
| GEOMETRY | Coil | Coil groups: geometry, wire type, AC-resistance method |
| GEOMETRY | Other | Further solids, for example brackets |
| GEOMETRY | Bobbin | Bobbins and coatings |
| GEOMETRY | Assembly | Join all parts, set the air domain, assign a material to each solid |
| PHYSICS | ElMag | Assign coil groups to windings; terminals and connection type |
| PHYSICS | Circuits | External circuit between the sources and the windings |
| PHYSICS | Waveform | Excitation: harmonics, transient waveforms, sweeps |
| PHYSICS | Heat | Boundary conditions per surface (Convection with a fixed or Auto heat transfer coefficient, Fixed Temperature, Heat Flux, Insulation), radiation, heat sources |
| STUDY | Mesh | Mesh Refinement, Mesh Algorithm, boundary layers; Evaluate Mesh, Compute Mesh |
| STUDY | Solve | Solver preset, linear solver, parallel cores; Simulation Setup, Run Simulation |
| STUDY | Results | Component values, graphs, exports; Open in ParaView |
The 3D view of the geometry tabs (toolbar, mouse, readouts, Group, Fuse, Common and Cut) is described once, on 3D View.
