LUA Script in FEMM 4.2 - please help!:-)

[Low-Q]

Hi there.


The lua script might refer to groups. If your model consist of different parts, say the rotor have more than one part, you must mark every line, arch, points, material, press Space and then name them all as group 1.


If the script, which you can edit in notepad, refer to grpup 2 or other than 1, you will get an error.


If the rotors symmetry consists of several equal magnets, for example 6 of them in a circle, you need to simulate only 60 degrees rotation, because the next 60 degrees will give you the same output. No need for 360 degrees samples.

I know this is an old topic, but I don't know where else to ask really. I searched around google to find this script, I'm using femm 4.2 and am also trying to get femm to rotate a couple groups of objects and output the torque values, or at least output the .ans files so I can just go look at the torque myself. Rotating everything the few degrees I need and analyzing each individually until I get to 360 takes forever.

I tried the script above but keep getting

"error: No current magnetics input in focus"
stack traceback:

1: function 'mi_saveas' [C]
2: main of string "'showconsole()..." at line 10

Yes I also made a boundary around everything and I can analyze it normally with no problems.
Yes I also gave a group value to the group I want to rotate that is the same as the group value specified in the script.

Also, in the file names, where are the files supposed to be placed? Where does FEMM end up looking for them? What folder? The installed folder? what if I installed it in a different location should I specify the entire path?
