Introduction This document deals with how to install a macro, and how to use the
Circuit_3_Phases macro. It will include the following topics:
• Macro definition: Circuit_3_Phases
• Install a macro

Macro definition : Circuit_3_Phases

Goal of the This macro intends to create automatically an electric circuit for 3 phases
macro devices. The supply can be voltage or current, with wye or delta connexion.
The load includes coils, which can be wye or delta connected. All input will
become parameters. Application should be defined prior running the macro.

Install a macro

Path Macros delivered with Flux are directly installed in folder :

Installation C:\Program Files\Altair\2020\flux\Extensions\Macros

(If Flux is installed at the path proposed by default C:\Program Files\Altair)

Calling a macro In order to use a macro, you have to follow the next steps:

Step Actions
1 Open Flux
2 Click on [Project] [Macro] [Load], and select the right macro

3 To run a macro, you have to click on [Project] [Macro] [Run]

Then select the macro you want to run.
