1. Assign a name to the coil
   
   Highlight the body of the coil and click to select.
    

2. On the [Attribute] context tab
   ,
   click [Body Attribute/Material Property] .

3. In the [Body Attribute/Material Property Setting] dialog box,
   
   enter Body Attribute Name: coil and click .
   
    

4. Any name is acceptable.

4. In the [Edit Body Attribute [coil] dialog box, go to the [Current] tab. Enter the following and then click .
   
   
   
   Current: 1[A]
   
   Turns: 100
   
   Direction: Loop Coil/Magnetic Field Direction
   
   Magnetic Direction Vector: X: 0, Y: 0, Z :1
   
   

• When the turns are set, the current will be processed as "(current value) x (turns)" for the analysis.
  The model with specified turns (bulk coil) will be effective for the coil with high number of turns (100 turns, 1000 turns).
  

• If you want to take into account the effect of induced current such as current bias of each coil,
  do not select turns in the harmonic analysis and create a coil shape of spiral as in Example 11
  

• In the case of the coil which is not loop coil with faces, select the inflow/outflow face in the modeling window.
  Refer to the "Current Tab" for more information. 

5. In the [Body Attribute/Material Property Setting] dialog box,
   
   enter Material Name: cu and click .
   
    

6. Any name is acceptable.

7. In the [Edit Material Property [cu]] dialog box, select [Electric Conductivity]tab and enter
   
   Conductivity Type: Conductor
   
   Conductivity: 6×107
   
   and click
   
   Then click in the [Body Attribute/Material Property Setting] dialog box and exit.
   
    

8. Material DB (Database) is readily available in Femtet for standard materials such as iron, copper etc.
   
   See [Material DB] on the Project Tree for the detail.

8. Assign a name to the core.
   
   Highlight the core and click to select.

• To select a particular body out of several overlapping bodies, try the following methods:

1. • Space Key Method
     
     Rest the mouse pointer on the overlapping area, and press the <Space> key.
     Body selection will change. The left-click will fix the selection.
      

   • List Selection Method
     
     Rest the mouse pointer on the overlapping area, and press the <Tab> key.
     The body selection list will appear. Select the body of your interest and left-click to fix the selection.
      

For more information,
see How to Select Bodies and Topologies
where you will find [Clicking the Mouse] and [List Selection Method].

9. Try the right-click menu this time.
   
   Select the core and right-click the mouse.
   
   On the right-click menu, click [Body Attribute/Material Property].
   

10. In the [Body Attribute/Material Property Setting] dialog box, enter
    
    Body Attribute Name: core
    Material Name: core and click .
     

11. In this example, no data editing is required for the body attribute, as the default values are acceptable.
     

11. In the [Edit Material Property [core]] dialog box, select [Permeability]tab and enter as follows.
    
    Material Type: Soft Magnetic Material
    
    Relative Permeability: 5000
    
    Click
    
    Then click in the [Body Attribute/Material Property Setting] dialog box and exit.
    
    

12. When the Linear(Constant) is selected in the Magnetization Characteristic Type, magnetic saturation is not taken into account.
    If magnetic saturation or B-H curve needs to be taken into account, switch the Magnetization Characteristic Type to B-H Curve and enter the B-H curve data.
    In this case, however, calculation will take longer time as this is a nonlinear calculation.
    

13. 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]
