Magnetic Properties options

The following tables provide information about the options you should use to define electromagnetic properties for anisotropic materials supported by the electromagnetic solutions. The Magnetic Properties options are available on the Electromagnetic page in the Anisotropic Material dialog box.

For detailed information about defining electromagnetic material properties, see your electromagnetic solver documentation.

Magnetic Properties
Linear
Specify Relative Permeability field Lets you specify temperature-dependent relative permeability values for XX, XY, XZ, YY, YZ, and ZZ components with a table or formula field.
Lamination Thickness Lets you enter a constant value.
Complex
Specify Complex Permeability field Specifies temperature-dependent complex permeability with real and imaginary parts for XX, XY, XZ, YY, YZ, and ZZ components with a table or formula field.
Lamination Thickness Lets you enter a constant value.
Nonlinear
Specifies permeability with temperature and BH curve data pairs. The BH curve shows the relationship between magnetic field strength and flux density.Additionally, you can specify Steinmetz Coefficients with temperature, frequency, and iron loss data pairs.Note: To add another row to the tables or delete a row from the tables, right-click in one of the cells of an existing row and choose either Add a Row or Delete a Row.
Temperature Specifies a scalar value.
BH Curve XX Specifies the BH curve for the XX component with a table or formula field.
BH Curve YY Specifies the BH curve for the YY component with a table or formula field.
BH Curve ZZ Specifies the BH curve for the ZZ component with a table or formula field.
Lamination Thickness Lets you enter a constant value.
Steinmetz Coefficients Specifies Steinmetz coefficients directly or calculates the coefficients from iron loss.Direct EntryLets you specify temperature-dependent values with a table or formula field.Calculate from Iron LossLets you calculate Steinmetz coefficients from iron loss.
Specify Steinmetz Coefficients field Specifies temperature-dependent Steinmetz Coefficients with a table or formula field. The dependent variables Kh, Alpha, Beta, and Ke for the XX, YY, and ZZ components are unitless.
Temperature Available when Calculate from Iron Loss is selected.
Frequency Available when Calculate from Iron Loss is selected.
Iron Loss Available when Calculate from Iron Loss is selected.Lets you enter a constant value, or when you click , lets you specify magnetic flux density-dependent values for power to mass ratio with a table or formula field.
Calculate Steinmetz Coefficients Available when you:Connect Calculate Steinmetz Coefficients to an NX Open routine.Calculate from Iron Loss is selected.Populates calculated values to the Steinmetz coefficients field.
Additional magnitude options for boundary conditions
Select Existing Field from List Lets you select an existing field.
Formula Constructor Lets you use a formula to construct a field. For more information, see Define a boundary condition using a formula field.
Table Constructor Lets you use a table to construct a field. For more information, see Define a boundary condition using a table field and Define a material property using a table field.
Link Constructor Lets you reference an existing field. You can override the field's spatial map to use the field in another location. For more information, see Linked Field dialog box.
Plot(XY) Plots the field as an XY graph.For more information, see: Plot functions, Graph overview, and Edit display properties of graph objects.
Overlay(XY) Available when a plot is already displayed. Overlays a plot on an existing plot. You can overlay up to 50 plots. For more information, see Overlay plots.
