Creating an Altair Flux Project


This chapter presents a short description of Altair Flux Student Edition software and
basic information about: how to create a project; the types of physical application
that can be simulated and how to define it in a project; how to build the geometry of
the device/system; meshing of the device geometry; creating the materials; how to
create the electric circuit coupled with application; how to create mechanical sets
associated to different parts of the device; how to define the physical regions of a
device/system and how to solve a Flux project.

3.1. Flux Supervisor


To open the Flux Supervisor, Figure 3.1, proceed as follows:
• from the taskbar in Windows: 7 - Start/All programs/Altair (or your installation
directory); 8, 8.1 and 10 - Start/Apps - and click on Flux 2018 Edu;

• Double click on the Flux 2018 Edu icon on desktop, .

The Flux Supervisor window is divided into several zones. The different
zones are identified in the figure below and then detailed in following paragraphs.

Figure 3.1 Flux Supervisor 2018.1

The different zones of the Flux Supervisor and their functions are:
Modules - The user selects the module in which he wishes to create his project: 2D,
Skew, 3D or PEEC.
Contexts - The user have the choice between several context use of supervisor: New
project, Open project, Open example, Python for Flux and Batch solve.
Working directory - The user chooses a working directory. The path of this directory

is displayed. It is possible to manage folders and files by clicking on the


button.
Customized zone - The content of this zone is adapted according to the chosen
context. The action button is also customized.
How to proceed? - In this zone are listed the steps corresponding to the chosen
context. It is possible to hide/display this zone by clicking on it.

3.2. Memory Management
From the software management point of view Flux has:
• two major components:
- one” computation” component (invisible part), in Fortran language
- one “GUI” component (visible part), in Java language,
• one connection between these two components, in Java.

A memory space must therefore be allotted for the Flux program (the executable), for
the operation of each of the components, and the connection between the
components.

The distribution is presented in the figure below and explained in the following
sections.

Figure 3.3 Distribution of the memory in Flux

As regards the calculus part (in Fortran), Flux uses a pseudo-dynamic* management
tool of the memory. This tool manages a global memory space comprising two Fortran
tables, one for the numeric memory, the other one for the character memory. The
size of each of these tables is controlled by a Fortran parameter inscribed in the main
program.

* Definitions:
• Dynamic allotting: the size of the reserved memory is set by the user (it is
therefore modifiable);
• Pseudo-dynamic allotting: Flux utilizes numeric tables and characters allotted in a
dynamic manner in order to emulate a dynamic memory.

12
Numerical memory is the memory employed for the various modeling actions. 2D and
3D meshing and solving process (in 2D and in 3D) are the processes that require large
memory size.

The memory size to be allocated is a function of the application type (real/complex)


and of the solving process matrix size.

Character memory is the memory used for storage of entity names


(parameters/transformations/regions/…) and of project names presented in the
directory.

GUI memory is the memory used for everything concerning the graphical user
interface (graphic display, etc.).

In the graphic window, the flag located bottom left gives an image of the utilization
of the graphic memory. When it is red, you can double-click on it to force the process
to release the memory.

The system memory corresponds to the memory allotted for the good operation of
the system; it comprises:
• the « executable » memory: memory space for the program Flux (the
executable) of the order 250 Mo
• the « cache » memory: memory space for the transfers of data between the
calculus component (Fortran) and the component HMI (Java). This memory is
difficult to quantify, it can generate errors during the recovery of data.

The allocated memory size is defined for each application (Flux 2D / Flux 3D / Flux
Skew / Flux PEEC).

The values of memory types are defined by means of the memory manager.

Memory options, Figure 3.4, are available by clicking on: in the Flux
Supervisor, Figure 3.1.

13
Standard values are assigned by default in Flux and depend on a certain number of
criteria (application, computer characteristics, etc.). In the Student Version the
Default values for memory types are presented in Figure 3.4.

In our study we’ll need at least 512 MB of numerical memory.

Figure 3.4 Memory options

3.5. How to Define the Type of the Physical
Application for the Project
A physical application allows us to solve a problem described by an equation, the
operating hypothesis and the boundary conditions.
The concept of physical application regroups information that concerns:
• the solved equation and the solving mode of this equation (model, formulations,
approximations, etc);
• the operating hypotheses: characteristics of the material media and the material
behavior, characteristics of the sources, etc;
• the boundary conditions: infinite box, symmetry and/or periodicity, other
conditions imposed by the user, etc.
The basic applications can be grouped into three categories, Figure 3.9:
• magnetic applications;
• electric applications;
• thermal applications.

To these, the strong coupling between magnetic or electric, with thermal application
are added and are grouped under the thermal coupling applications, Figure 3.9:
• magneto-thermal applications;
• electro-thermal applications.

Figure 3.9 Categories of physical applications in Flux

The previously defined applications can be classified according to the field states:
• static applications treat static (or steady state) phenomena in devices where the
field sources are time independent;

18
• transient applications treat variables or transient phenomena in devices where the
field sources are time dependent;
• steady state AC applications for devices where the time variation of the field sources
is sinusoidal.

Magnetic Applications
In Flux software, the different “magnetic states” correspond to different physics
applications.
Generally, a magnetic application studies the magnetic phenomena created by:
• currents (stationary, variable, or sinusoidal)
• permanent magnets

The three available physics applications are the Magneto static, Transient Magnetic,
and Steady state AC Magnetic applications, Figure 3.10.

Figure 3.10 Magnetic applications available in Flux - 2D module

The main characteristics of the magnetic applications are listed in the table below.

separation;
• magnetic bearings, electromagnets, contactors;
• rotating machines, micromotors, transformers;
• induction heating devices, etc.
For one device, it is possible to carry out a study with each Flux magnetic application
in order to study different aspects, Table 2.2.

Electric Applications

Study of electric charge systems - The ordinary matter consists of atoms that contain
the same number of electrons (carrying an elementary negative electric charge) and
of protons (carrying a positive electric charge). The atoms are electrically neutral. A
deficit of electrons within an atom means a positive electric charge and an excess of
electrons means a negative electric charge.

We can say:
• electrostatics is the study of static electric charges;
• electric conduction is the study of oriented motion of electric charges.

Electrostatics studies the systems of electric charges in static equilibrium.

20
Electric conduction studies electric currents, i.e. the phenomena associated with the
oriented displacement of electric charges, without considering the magnetic field
generated by electric currents.
The study of the interactions between magnetic fields and electric currents
characterizes electromagnetism; it is not the object of electric conduction studies.

In Flux software, different “electric field states” correspond to different physical


applications.
The four physics applications available are the Electrostatic, Electric Conduction,
Steady state AC Electric and Transient Electric applications, Figure 3.11.

Figure 3.11 Electrical applications available in Flux - 2D module

The main characteristics of the electric applications are listed in the table below.

Thermal Applications
Thermal equilibrium - When two bodies that do not exchange heat with their
environment but have different temperatures are brought into contact, they
exchange heat until an equilibrium state is reached. This state is characterized by the
uniform and time independent temperature field of the two bodies.

More generally, a system is in thermal equilibrium when the heat flux is null at any
point of the system. The temperature gradient is zero at any point and the
temperature field is time and space independent

Thermal non-equilibrium - In a system that contain internal heat sources or which is


in contact with external heat sources, there is a thermal heat transfer; such a system
is in a state of non-equilibrium.

Heat transfer, also called thermal exchange, can be achieved by:


• Thermal conduction: In this type of thermal exchange, without transport of matter,
the heat transfer is determined by the existence of a temperature gradient. The heat
flux is oriented along this gradient. This type of heat transfer is possible only in solid
bodies.
• Thermal convection: The thermal convection phenomenon assumes heat transfer
on the surface that separates a solid body from a fluid, or inside a mixture of two
fluids. A macroscopic matter transport is associated with heat transfer by thermal
convection.

22
• Thermal radiation: A heated body emits energy through electromagnetic radiation.
One of the particularities of this phenomenon - called “thermal radiation” - is the
possibility of heat propagation in a vacuum.

The non-equilibrium states can be classified as follows:


• Steady thermal state: When the temperature, at different points of the system, is
time independent, the thermal state is “steady” (or stationary). The non-equilibrium
state in this case, in the sense of non-uniformity temperature in the system volume is
due to internal heat sources. In a thermal steady state, the internal power generated
source is equal to the external heat flux surface of the system.
• Transient thermal state: The transient thermal state corresponds to the system’s
evolution from an initial steady or equilibrium state towards another steady or
equilibrium state, caused, for example, by a change at the initial moment in the heat
source’s power. The temperature field is time dependent; it depends on the initial
temperature field and on the new value of the sources power. The temperature’s time
variation decreases during the transient state.
• Variable thermal state: In a variable thermal state, the power value of the heat
sources is time dependent; as a result, the temperature field is time and space
dependent.

Transient states must not be confused with variable states; in variable states the
power value of the heat sources varies with time.

Only thermal conduction and radiation can be modelled in Flux.

Thermal convection, which assumes fluid heat transfer cannot be directly modelled
in Flux. Boundary thermal convection heat transfer characterizes the solid regions of
the studied device and the surrounding fluid. It is also the case for the radiation to
infinite.

In the Flux software, different thermal states correspond to different physical


applications.

The two available physical applications are the Steady state Thermal and Transient
Thermal applications, Figure 3.12.

23
Figure 3.12 Thermal applications available in Flux - 2D module

Features of the thermal applications are listed in the table below.

Table 3.5 features of the thermal applications

is treated with the The power of thermal


The state application … sources is …
steady Steady state Thermal constant in time
transient Transient Thermal constant in time
variable Transient Thermal time dependent

The Transient Thermal application of Flux enables the study of both the transient and
variable states.

The Steady state and the Transient Thermal applications enable the solid body’s
system thermal conduction study considering the convection and/or radiation
thermal exchanges on the domain’s temperature computational boundaries.

The Steady state Thermal and Transient Thermal applications can be used to study
the temperature fields in furnaces, machines, etc.

Thermal Coupling
Usually, the term of coupling is used when we want to study, for a given device,
several physical phenomena: in our case electric/magnetic with thermal.

The thermal coupling applications available in Flux 2D are presented in Figure 3.13.

Figure 3.13 Thermal coupling applications available in Flux - 2D module

24
These coupled applications allow the thermal study of the devices heated by
electromagnetic induction or by electric conduction.

This type of study couples two applications:


• a magnetic or an electric application (1) that allows the computation of the power
dissipated by Joule effect in the heated region of the studied device;
• a thermal application (2) that allows the study of the temperature evolution in the
device heated region.

The dissipated power by Joule effect, computed with application (1), is introduced as
the problem heat source in application 2.

The second computed temperature application is introduced, for the material


characteristics evaluation in application 1.

Generally, we talk about a:


• strong coupling: when is carried out a simultaneously two system equation solving
(example: for circuit coupling, when the magnetic field equations and the circuit
equations are solved simultaneously).
• weak coupling: when the two equation systems are separately solved, so that it
imposes the result transfer between the two systems (example: for kinematic
coupling the magnetic field and the mechanical equations are solved successively for
each time step).

The Flux application proposed couplings is a weak coupling: the thermal and
electromagnetic process are solved separately. The two equation systems are coupled
by means of some terms:
• The temperature (resulting from thermal resolution) is a quantity which is involved
in the system of electromagnetic equations by means of the material physical
properties: magnetic permeability, electric resistivity, permittivity, …
• The power losses (resulting from the electromagnetic solving) is the corresponding
term of the systems thermal equation heating source.

25
The Steady State AC Magnetic coupled with Transient Thermal application allows the
evolution study of the electromagnetic and thermal phenomena during the induction
heating process of a part.

This type of study is a coupling between two different applications, one for the
evaluation of the electromagnetic field distribution, and the other computing the
part’s transient heating as a result of induced power and of thermal transfer:
• the Steady State AC Magnetic application allows the computation of the power
dissipated by Joule effect into the part to be heated (1);
• the Transient Thermal application (2) allows the study of the temperature evolution
of the heated part.

The Joule effect dissipated power, computed by the magnetic problem - application
1, is the source of the thermal problem - application 2.

The characteristics of the Electric Conduction (EC) coupled with the Transient Thermal
(TT) application are not detailed in this Book. This coupling is, a priori, simpler than
the “SM coupled with TT application” and the “SE coupled with TT application”, as the
problem solving with the Electric Conduction application is of a linear type.

The characteristics of the Steady state AC Electric (SE) coupled with the Transient
Thermal (TT) application are not detailed in this Book. This coupling operates similarly
to the Steady State AC Magnetic (SM) coupled with the Transient Thermal (TT)
application. Attention: the temperature depending properties (permeability
depending on temperature) must be defined by a user subroutine.

• Defined as mesh points or/and lines and assign to the correspondent entity,
Figure 3.21.

3.8. Creation of the Materials
Flux allows us to create quickly materials in order to use it in the project, Figure 3.24.
The materials can be also imported from the material manager or from a file,
Figure 3.25.

Figure 3.24 Creating a material

Figure 3.25 Importing a material

The material manage, Figure 3.26, is a tool dedicated to materials. It allows to store
the materials in data bases, and gives access to lots of functionalities like creating,
consulting or comparing materials.

The material is added to the Flux project by drag and drop.

3.9. Creation of the Circuit Associated with the
Model
Flux allows us to carry out studies with circuit coupling. The circuit coupling introduces
the electrical equations directly into the magnetic field computation, enabling the
analysis of electric conductors and the supply circuit. We refer to field – circuit
coupling (or coupling with circuit equations).

The circuit can be:


• Imported, Figure 3.28;
• Created in the circuit editor context, Figure 3.29 and 3.30.

Figure 3.28 Importing a circuit

34
Figure 3.29 Entering the circuit editor context

Figure 3.30 Circuit editor context

In the editor circuit context, we can add the electric components, Figure 3.31, to our
circuit and connect then as we want.

The circuit must have a ground.

3.10. Creation of the Mechanical Sets
Flux allows us to carry out studies with kinematic coupling. The Flux kinematic module
enables us to study a moving part in a device that is subject to mechanical forces
(springs, friction, gravity, etc.) and magnetic forces (magnets, coils).

Flux gives us the possibility of having five types of mechanical set, Figure 3.33.

3.11. Creation and Assigning of face/lines/point
Regions
Material media are modelled by material regions. In Flux 2D we’ll use mainly surface
regions, but line regions and point regions are also possible for use.

The medium physical properties are those of the corresponding material region.

In Flux we can model many types of regions, Figure 3.35.

Figure 3.35 Creating face region

An air or a vacuum region enables us to model the air or the vacuum (permeability
µr=1).

The non-conducting magnetic region enables us to model the magnetic (permeability


µr) and non-conducting medium.

The non-conducting laminated magnetic region enables us to model a laminated


medium, a stacked magnetic sheet that is magnetic (permeability µr) and non-
conducting.

A conductor coil region enables us to model a source conducting with non-magnetic


(permeability µr=1) media, a constituted number of turns coil passed through by a
current, Js.

38
We model a magnetic (permeability µr) and conducting (resistivity ρ) medium with a
solid conductor region.

After we have created the regions the next step is to assign them to theirs
corresponding types, Figure 3.36.

3.12. Creation and Solving a Scenario
An electromagnetic problem can be determined by solving a set of equations:
• the Maxwell equations, which represent the backbone of the theory;
• the constitutive equations of the matter, which model the material properties.

Maxwell’s equations are the electromagnetism fundamental laws.


They relate the electrical charges q density and the electrical current 𝐽⃗ density of a
domain to the resulted fields:

• the electrical field strength 𝐸⃗⃗ and the electrical flux density 𝐷
⃗⃗;

• the magnetic flux density 𝐵


⃗⃗ and the magnetic field strength 𝐻
⃗⃗.

The general form of Maxwell’s equations is the following:

Maxwell-Gauss ⃗⃗ ) = 𝑞
𝑑𝑖𝑣(𝐷 (1)

where:
•  is the conductivity of the material (in S)
•  is the permeability (in H/m)
•  is the permittivity (in F/m)

The matter constitutive equations characterize the different materials: conductive,


magnetic, dielectric or thermal (by thermal conductivity or volumetric heat capacity)
and are presented in the next table.
