Example19 Inductance of Nonlinear Material (B-H Curve)

General

• Inductance of a nonlinear material (permeability is defined with B-H curve) is solved.
   

• The vectors of the magnetic field and the magnetic flux density are solved.
   

• Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

Analysis Conditions

Model

A loop coil (coil) and a magnetic core (core) with gap are placed.

As the magnetic field concentrates in the gap of the magnetic core, small mesh size is applied (0.2mm).

Body Attributes and Materials

* Available from the Material DB

Material property of the core is defined with B-H curve table.

• If the magnetization characteristic is defined by B-H curve or M-H curve, calculation is nonlinear. Nonlinear calculation may not converge.
  In such case, refer to “If the Nonlinear Calculation (B-H Curve) Does Not Converge “

Press the Graph button. The following graph will show up.

Body attribute is set up as follows to apply current to the loop coil.

Boundary Conditions

No setting.
