AC/DC Material Library
The electromagnetic material properties that can be stored in this material library, available in the AC/DC Module, are:
•
Electric conductivity and resistivity
•
Relative permittivity
•
Relative permeability
•
Nonlinear B-H curves
•
Refractive index
The database contains electromagnetic and other material properties for these materials:
Materials
Copper
Aluminum
Soft Iron (without losses)
Soft Iron (with losses)
MuMETAL®
Nonlinear Permanent Magnet
Jiles-Atherton Isotropic Hysteretic Material
Silicon Carbide
Graphite
Graphite Felt
Quartz
FR4 (Circuit Board)
Some properties depend on the magnetic flux density, location, or temperature. The database contains, depending on the material and in addition to the more common material properties, the following properties:
Predefined Properties
Remnant flux density
Reference temperature
Temperature coefficient
Nonlinear B-H curves
Resistivity at reference temperature
In addition, the AC/DC material database contains material properties for a large number of magnetic materials from Bomatec® in the Magnetic Materials (Bomatec®) folder. It also contains a Hard Magnetic Materials folder with material properties for a large number of sintered NdFeB grades.
