type

The type attribute of the MachineData class represents the type of the machine. In the GUI, this is displayed as a checkpoint.

It is an instance of the MachineTypeData class accessible through the eMotorSolution.CheckPoints.Machine.Type module.

Parameters

• machine_type_init: str, The type data of the machine. defaults to "IPMSM".
• pole_number_expression: str, The number of poles for the machine. defaults to "8".
• topology_init: str, The topology of the machine. defaults to "Internal Rotor".
• machine_name: str, The name of the machine. defaults to "My Machine".

Methods

Method	Description
set_machine_type(machine_type: str)	Sets the machine type to "IPMSM", "SPMSM", or "SynRM".
set_pole_number(expression: int | str)	Sets the number of poles for the machine.
set_topology(topology: str)	Sets the machine topology to "Internal Rotor" or "External Rotor".
validate()	Returns the validation status in dictionary format.

Attributes

Example Usage

Here is an example of how to access and modify some of the attributes and methods of the MachineTypeData class:

import eMotorSolution as ems

# Load an existing project
project = ems.load_project("path/to/your/project.json")

# Access the machine type
print(project.machine.type.machine_type)
>> "IPMSM"

# Modify the machine type
project.machine.type.set_machine_type("SPMSM")

# Access the machine name
print(project.machine.type.machine_name)
>> "My Machine"

# Modify the machine name
project.machine.type.machine_name = "New Machine Name"

# Access the modified machine name
print(project.machine.type.machine_name)
>> "New Machine Name"
