Algorithmic and software for parametric synthesis of electromechanical structures with magnetic switching

The results of the development of algorithms and program codes in a high-level programming language for solving problems of parametric synthesis in the preliminary design of electromechanical converters with magnetic switching, the distinctive feature of which are lumped electric windings with a distributed magnetic system, which leads to the need to build individual calculation models, are presented. This algorithmic and software is a structural part of a complex parametric synthesis aimed at reducing the mass of active materials and based on a combination of an optimization procedure based on the results of a numerical experiment, with synthesis in the direction from electromagnetic loads to the geometric dimensions of an electromechanical converter. The algorithm is a given sequence of computational procedures as part of software blocks built on the calculation formulas presented in the corresponding calculation methods.The software is implemented on the basis of the object-oriented Delphi language. Upon completion of the program, the calculation results are entered into a data file and visualized on the monitor screen. In addition, a three-dimensional graphical representation of the outline drawing as well as the longitudinal section and idling characteristics of the magnetically commutated generator is provided. The solution time for one calculation option ranges from fractions of a second to several seconds. The presented results of the development of algorithmic and software for parametric synthesis of electromechanical converters with a lumped electrical and distributed magnetic system can be used in the electrical engineering industry and will be useful to researchers and designers who do not have sufficient experience in the development of machines of such structures.
