LamSlotMultiMagWind for Stator Permanent Magnet Motor Families

[Candelo-Zuluaga]

Hello community!

I am focusing my research on stator permanent magnet motors (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5725183) and would like to use pyleecan to contribute to this area. However, I realized that it is currently not possible to implement slots with magnets in the stator part while also including windings because the class "LamSlotWind" only expects a winding slot type. Additionally, I tried to implement "LamSlotMulti," but it was not possible to specify either magnets or windings.

I thought it might be possible to implement this as a notch in the stator, with the possibility of adding magnets. The idea is to create a slot similar to SlotM16 but for stator notches, with the option to include magnets or not. However, I believe this solution might not be viable in the long term.

I think creating a class that allows placing slots for both windings and magnets would be ideal for this.

Hi @BonneelP,

I achieved the goal! I've successfully created the class LamSlotMultiMagWind.

I modified the methods for this lamination accordingly to build the geometry and plot it without any problems. However, I had to modify a method in the LamSlotMulti folder because it was not plotting the whole family of "Multi" Laminations properly. After making that change, everything is working amazingly.

I have committed and pushed the files to my forked version (which I checked and confirmed are working fine). If you agree, I will proceed with the pull request for the main project.

Also, in the mean time I'm going to do a dummy example using this.
