Synchronous Generator Design Tool
GenAc
Results are obtained in hours, not days or weeks. This is possible due, in part, to MagneForce’s large machine geometry library, a resource containing permanent magnet, wound field and inside-out designs.
GenAC can even handle 2 machines on a single shaft as with an exciter/generator pair. Each parametrized model can also be modified using the built-in flexible geometry modeler. Users can also create their own parameterized models or input from their mechanical CAD package. GenAC’s users benefit greatly from a comprehensive approach to simulation, the result is a quick learning curve where users reach and maintain software proficiency with much less effort.
GenAC primary solver utilizes an iterative approach in which machine magnetic fields are calculated using FEA techniques. These results are used to calculate winding currents in a time domain circuit model of the machine and its load. The process continues until convergence is achieved. Popular machine loads are pre-defined for quick input or can be drawn as desired within GenAC’s circuit simulation tab.
