Can study the steady state schematic to see where restrictions to cooling
exist and what can be done to make the machine cooler
Materials, mounting, improved impregnation, interface gaps, etc.

TempCalc = Hot10
Max Heat Bal can be used to see if steady-state is reached in PC-BDC
Warning given if PC-BDC not reached steady state
42
TempCalc = Hot10
We can also compare the calibrated Hot10 and Motor-CAD transient graphs
Should plot magnet and winding average temperature
43
TempCalc = Hot10
The user can change to a duty cycle in PC-BDC and have accurate
predictions of temperatures (3 times current with 50% duty cycle, 10 min):

DegCW & ThRcct models have some limited use if they are calibrated by
Motor-CAD
Can then change load in SPEED and calculate losses with more accuracy than Fixed
temperature model
Assumes all thermal quantities in the SPEED model are not functions of rotational speed &
temperature
Need to re-calibrate if change design
