EXTERNALIZATION OF COIL STRUCTURE PATTERNS

摘要

A user can create a coil structure pattern on a display screen and annotate it with information such as comments, key values, and script fragments. Generating a coil structure pattern comprises receiving at least one pattern or sub-pattern, and assembling a layout comprising the pattern or sub-pattern. A parameter value, attribute, and/or metadata is provided to the pattern or sub-pattern disposed in the assembled layout, and a coil structure pattern is generated based on the layout and the parameter value, attribute, and/or metadata. The coil structure pattern may be stored in a storage device. A coil pattern creation system comprises a storage device storing a pattern and/or a sub-pattern; a pattern design system for receiving a pattern and/or sub-pattern from the storage device and assembling a layout comprising the pattern and/or sub-pattern; and a user interface coupled to the pattern design system for providing a parameter value, an attribute, and/or metadata to the pattern and/or sub-pattern disposed in the assembled layout. The pattern design system generates a coil structure pattern based on the layout and the parameter value, attribute, and/or metadata. Previously generated coil structure patterns, or parts of the patterns, may be stored and re-used.
