Objectives & features ===================== Objectives ---------- PYLEECAN's objective is to provide a user-friendly, unified, flexible simulation framework for the multiphysic design and optimization of electrical machines and drives based on open-source software. It is meant to be used by researchers, R&D engineers and teachers in electrical engineering, both on standard topologies of electrical machines and on novel topologies (e.g. during a PhD work). An objective of PYLEECAN is that every PhD student should start with PYLEECAN instead of implementing his own routines (e.g. coupling Scilab and Femm). Features -------- PYLEECAN will include all the following key features to fulfill its objectives: | Features | PYLEECAN 1.0 | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | Python-based open-source software | Yes | | Graphical User Interface (GUI) | Yes | | Object-oriented modeling of electrical
machines and drives | Yes | | Multi-physic simulation of electrical machines | Yes (electric, magnetic, and force modules) | | Different levels of modeling accuracy
(e.g. analytic and numeric) | Yes | | Multi-objective optimization loops
including parallelization | Yes (MOO) | | Output data visualization scripts | Yes | | Online detailed documentation | Yes |
