apply_skew

Maxwell3d.apply_skew(skew_type='Continuous', skew_part='Rotor', skew_angle='1', skew_angle_unit='deg', number_of_slices=2, custom_slices_skew_angles=None)

Apply skew to 2D model.

Parameters:

skew_typestr, optional

Skew type. Possible choices are Continuous, Step, V-Shape, User Defined. The default value is Continuous.

skew_partstr, optional

Part to skew. Possible choices are Rotor or Stator. The default value is Rotor.

skew_anglestr, optional

Skew angle. The default value is 1.

skew_angle_unitstr, optional

Skew angle unit. Possible choices are deg, rad, degsec, degmin. The default value is deg.

number_of_slicesstr, optional

Number of slices to split the selected part into. The default value is 2.

custom_slices_skew_angleslist, optional

List of custom angles to apply to slices. Only available if skew_type is User Defined. The length of this list must be equal to number_of_slices. The default value is None.

Returns:

bool

True when successful, False when failed.

Examples

Create a rotor as a simple circle and apply skew. To apply skew you must set motion first.

>>> from ansys.aedt.core import Maxwell2d
>>> m2d = Maxwell2d(solution_type="TransientXY")
>>> m2d.modeler.create_circle([0, 0, 0], 20, name="Rotor")
>>> m2d.modeler.create_circle([0, 0, 0], 21, name="Circle_outer")
>>> band = m2d.assign_rotate_motion("Circle_outer", positive_limit=300, mechanical_transient=True)
>>> m2d.apply_skew(skew_part="Rotor", skew_angle="3", number_of_slices="5")
>>> m2d.desktop_class.close_desktop()
