General
A coil is wound on a core. The iron loss is analyzed.
Permeability is set with B-H curve table.
The effect of magnetic saturation is taken into account in this exercise whereas it is not taken into account in the [Exercise 29: Heating due to the Iron Loss] of magnetic field harmonic analysis.
The core loss, 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.
See Exercise 2 regarding the calculation of heating due to the iron loss.

To see the iron loss, go to the [Results] tab
and click [Table] .
The joule loss is shown below.
The iron loss is shown below.
The core’s iron loss is approximately 0.5W.
The joule loss and the hysteresis loss of the core are not given because the the material property is defined on the iron loss table.
The loss characteristics are defined in the iron loss table. Only iron loss is obtained.
If it is defined by the iron loss experimental formula, the joule loss and the hysteresis loss will be output as well.
See [Loss Calculation in the Magnetic Field Analysis] for details of the loss.
The vectors of the magnetic field are shown below.
The vectors of the magnetic flux density are shown below.
The flux density is looping through the core.
The iron loss density is shown below.
