About the AC/DC and Nonlinear Magnetic Material Databases
For detailed information about Materials including the AC/DC Material Libary and Nonlinear Magnetic Materials Library, see the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual.
For more information about our material data suppliers (including contact information and links to their product list), see Material Libraries.
Nonlinear magnetic materials are generally provided as interpolation functions for the magnetization curve without hysteresis effects. In the main equation nodes, that is in any of the nodes; Ampère’s Law, Ampère’s Law and Current Conservation, Faraday’s Law, or Magnetic Flux Conservation and, depending on which of the AC/DC interfaces is being used, one needs to select the magnetic field constitutive relation B-H curve or H-B curve.
