20 Bug Fixed Basic Operations Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where mesh is no longer displayed in the graphics window depending on the procedure to switch a case. Cause The problem may occur when the following steps are performed. 1. Add a case in a study with analysis results (case 1). 2. Perform an analysis with an added case (case 2). 3. Display case 1, and delete results of the current case. 4. Delete case 1. The view is switched to case 2 with analysis results, but the mesh cannot be displayed. When these error conditions occur, the current case results need to be deleted from the study, and the results must be re-loaded by verifying the new results Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where the value is not saved even after editing the point sequence of the B-ε curve in the mechanical properties tab while editing custom materials or the temporary folder Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where viewpoints registered in the list of viewpoints in the Export Viewpoints dialog box are sometimes not correctly exported based on their names. Different viewpoint may have been exported in a viewpoint file (*. xml). If necessary, the viewpoint must be exported again Bug Fixed Fixed a bug that caused switching cases to take time when there is a case with a calculation result in a study for a model with grouped parts. Importing/Exporting a File Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where the part groups are ungrouped and the part ID is not properly retained when loading created in JMAG-Express (JCF file) into JMAG-Designer. When these error conditions occur, the created in JMAG-Express need to be reloaded in JMAG-Designer. 20 / 29

21 Geometry Editor Operations Bug Fixed Fixed a bug that causes a warning message as duplicated constraints, even if the restraint isn't duplicated. Cause This problem occurs when the following steps are performed. 1. Create circle A in sketch Create circle A' by converting circle A to sketch 2 (circle A and circle A' are connected by the conversion coincident constraint.) 3. Create circle B in sketch Set concentric constraint and distance constraint for circle A' and circle B. Warning messages as duplicated constraints is displayed, even if the restraint isn't duplicated. information Also, this problem occurs when the same steps are performed for an arc Bug Fixed Fixed a bug that caused a circle to be divided and automatic mesh generation to fail when importing 2D geometry with a contacting circle and arc. Error code occurs during automatic mesh generation. Example Below is an example diagram of this problem. Before modification of this problem, the circle was divided at an inappropriate position when importing the 2D geometry and as a result, mesh generation failed. The geometry must be reloaded by updating the model. 21 / 29

22 Bug Fixed Fixed a bug that prevented extrusion from properly executing for acute angle areas when running parallel mesh extrusion. When these error conditions occur, parallel mesh extrusion must be run again.

When these error conditions occur, the result difference calculation needs to be run again Bug Fixed Fixed so that units are no longer displayed for dimensionless quantity results when selecting the ratio as the comparison method for calculating result difference. The units of the result type is shown for the ratio Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where the [Steps from End] of Fourier transform (distribution amount) does not operate properly. When these error conditions occur, Fourier transform (distribution amount) needs to be created again Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where electric power results are displayed as zero when importing a JPROJ file. Cause This problem occurs when the following conditions are specified. - Save a JPROJ file without displaying the electric power result table after performing a calculation - Load a saved JPROJ file and display the electric power result table When these error conditions occur, the results need to be reloaded by performing the following steps. 1. Select [Delete Results of Active Case] from the right-click menu for the study 2. Select [Confirm Results of Current Case] from the right-click menu for the study. Link to External Programs (Simulink, PSIM, SPEED, Abaqus, MpCCI, etc.) Bug Fixed Improved an error message that occurs when multibyte characters are included in the calculation folder path in coupled analysis of Abaqus and JMAG. When these error conditions occur, error messages from error code or are displayed. Script Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where exporting of a set from the graph manager is not automatically recorded with script. 25 / 29

26 Tool: Exporting Multi-purpose Files * This function is only supported on Windows Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where the physical amounts are not correctly output when multiple types of step columns with different time (frequency) intervals exist in the output files. information Multiple result files can be selected as input result files and the sum of the physical amount can be output. Physical amount will be output as the following when the intervals of analysis time (or frequency) per result file vary. The sum of physical amount for each input file will be output when the step values (analysis time, frequency) are the same. The physical amount per input file will be output separately when the step values (analysis time, frequency) vary. When these error conditions occur, re-output is necessary. JMAG-Express * This function is only supported on Windows Bug Fixed Fixed a bug that caused calculations to fail when correcting the coercive force of a magnet Bug Fixed Fixed a bug that may cause a JMAG-Express application error when [Edit in JMAG-Designer] is selected. Cause This problem occurs when the entity settings for region features (mirror copy, fillets, or chamfers) are insufficient in the [Constraint] tab in the [Template Editor] window. JMAG-RT * This function is only supported on Windows Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where the circuit constant is incorrect in RT model creation of induction motors. The following results are not output correctly. - Circuit constant (leakage reactance, excitation susceptance, iron loss equivalent conductance, secondary resistance, stray load loss) - Mutual inductance, self-inductance during simulation in Simulink When these error conditions occur, recreation of the RTT file is necessary Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where the values of iron loss are incorrect in high rotation regions when creating RTT files accounting for iron loss in three-phase PM synchronous motors. When these error conditions occur, recreation of the RTT file is necessary. 26 / 29

27 Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where inductance and flux linkage values as well as the correction table are not properly reflected when β angle is greater than or equal to 180, or less than 360 for RTT file corrections. Cause This problem occurs when the following conditions are specified. - Use inductance, flux linkage, or torque corrections in Simulink - β angle is greater than or equal to 180, or less than 360 The value β=0 would be applied JMAG-RT Viewer * This function is only supported on Windows Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where the [K2 Flux Linkage in Magnet] specified in the RT library manager is not reflected to the default value as the [Magnet Flux Factor] of the JMAG-RT Viewer Bug Fixed Fixed a bug where magnetic flux amount coefficient is not accounted for when using RTT files of spatial harmonic models. Cause This problem occurs when values other than 1.0 are specified for magnetic flux factor of magnets in versions later than When these error conditions occur, re-creation of Torque-Speed Curve/Efficiency Map is necessary. Known Bug Running Analysis and JMAG-Scheduler Operations Known Bug There is a bug where the JMAG-Scheduler progress bar stays at 0% even if calculations have started when submitting a case of an analysis group. Result Display Known Bug There is a bug where the output history graph would not display correctly when a result type of nodal value including displacement was selected for an added calculation for a part/face/edge. This problem occurs during result calculation (added calculation for a part/face/edge) for version 14.0 or later. 27 / 29
