How to install and use Accu-ROM™ on Ansys® Twin Builder™
1. Using Accu-ROM™
- The installer can be downloaded from Ansys‘s Customer Portal site - “Current Release”.
https://support.ansys.com/portal/site/AnsysCustomerPortal - Select "Downloads > Current Release"
- Select "Add-On Packages > Accu-ROM Electric Power Steering System"
*This function runs on Twin Builder™ and requires Twin Builder™ to operate.
2. Starting Accu-ROM™
- Launch Ansys Electronics Desktop and press Simplorer.
- From Twin Builder menu
Toolkit > Accu-ROM_Electric Power Steering System
Select OK.
3. How to set Accu-ROM™
- When the setting window opens, set in the following Step order. The setting of Step (6), (7) and (8) is mandatory. Configure the other Step as needed.
Step(1). Select steering scenario for steering. Currently, only Scenario A is preset.
Step(2). Press "Edit" to start WAVE VIEWER. Edit the steer scenario waveform as needed.
Step(3). Selects the motor control method. Two types of control methods are currently preset.
- Triangle-Wave Compare PWM method: A general modulation method for 3-phase PWM.
This method generates PWM signals by comparing the carrier wave of the triangle wave with the UVW phase waveform. - Space Vector Modulation method: A method to generate PWM based on the spatial voltage vector.
Compared with the triangle-wave comparison PWM method, the DC voltage utilization factor can be improved.
Step(4). Set various parameters of the motor.
J: Moment of inertia ψ: Chain magnetic flux
Ld: d-axis inductance p: Number of contacts
Lq: q-axis inductance Rs: Winding resistance
Step(5). Set the thermal resistance and heat capacity of the printed circuit board and heat sink. To configure a multi-stage RC circuit, input multiple resistance and capacitance values by separating them with a space.
Step(6). Set the simulation time.
Step(7). Selects the power semiconductor (MOSFET) used for 3-phase inverter circuitry. Double-click to jump to the product page.
Step(8). Run : Starts the simulation.
Setup Only : Saves the settings. No simulation is performed.
Option: The Advanced Settings window opens. Normally, this setting is not required. Refer to the following for details.
<Description of the detailed setting screen>
Accu-ROM™ is simulated under the following 4Step. Here you can make detailed settings for each Step.
1. Check Simulation :
Simulation for initial operation check.
2. Power Loss Control:
Simulation for reduced-order modeling of MOSFET model.
3. PreSim Control:
Simulation for reduced-order modeling of mechanical plant model. Operating Time of the main setting window is applied to End Time.
4. MainSim Control:
Simulation for reduced-order modeling of MOSFET and mechanical plant model. Operating Time of the main setting window is applied to End Time.
4. Analysis display of Accu-ROM™ (before reduced-order modeling)
- The screen before reduced-order modeling is as follows.
- The EPS (Electric Steering) mechanical plant model before reduced-order modeling consists of the following:
5. Analysis display of Accu-ROM™ (after reduced-order modeling)
- The screen after reduced order modeling is as follows. MOSFET and mechanical plant model orders are reduced and automatically switched to the reduced-order model.
6. Analysis of Accu-ROM™
- Currently, the following analysis results are displayed as presets.
