Force Density

The ForceDensity object contains the PLT file results. It has following attributes which mostly correspond to the text sections in the file:

Attribute	Description
project	Name of model file
filename	Name of PLT file
date	calculation date
version	FEMAG version
nodes	number of nodes
elements	number of elements
quality	meshing quality
positions	Position properties

Positions

list of dictionaries for each position

position	rotor position
X	list of angles
FN	list of normal component of force
FT	list tangential component of force
Radius	list of radius
B_N	list normal component of flux density
B_T	list tangential component of flux density

Example:

fdens = ForceDensity()
fdens.read('example.PLT0')
pl.title('{}, Rotor Position {}'.format(
         fdens.title, fdens.positions[0]['position']))
pl.plot(fdens.positions[0]['X'], fdens.positions[0]['FT'])
