Ansys maxwell 3d material library

[snnttldb]

hi everybody. i just wonder. can we add new material library in ansys maxwell 3d(v.16) manually. especially magnets?

 

[WaXXyy]

Yes, of course, go to Tools -> Edit Configured Libraries -> Materials -> Add Material and then from the dropdown menu (Calculate Properties) choose Permanent Magnet.

but i don't know properties of N50 magnet. İ just found Br value. i need Mu and Hc values too. where can i find ?

thank you for your help

i just tried to add material N50 but i cant. could you tell me what i must do step by step if you know?

OK

Mu is relative permeability. Mo*Mu is Slope of BH curve. If you guessed the curve of PM in the second quadrant linear, equation is

Mu*Mo=Br/Hc
Mo=4*pi*10^(-7)

For N50 is
Br=1.425
Hc=971 000

And Mu is: 1.167846519

If you want to enter the non-linear characteristic, then you must enter the point by point. In Maxwell Help, you have instructions for how to do it.

thank you so much :)

i just tried. add new material -> calculate for permanent magnet

new windows comes up and i entered Mu and Hc values in their spaces and Br values calculated automaticly 1,425 .
i click ok button. so new material is added. but i got a warning message. the message is:

" Material 'n50_deneme': The magnitude of Magnetic Coercivity is expected to be <= 0. If you use a positive value the direction used will be the opposite of the unit vector specified. (12:54:09 Eki 30, 2013) "

still i do my analysis. and the force i calculated is bigger than NdFe35. it seems it work :)

but i wonder about the warning. is it important ?

 

[WaXXyy]

For Magnetic Coercivity you must put negative value: Hc=-971 000 A/m

 

[snnttldb]

ok. i will try negative value. thank you for your help

 

[snnttldb]

i change Hc value to negative and now it seems ok. thank you so much. may i ask what are you doing with maxwell?

 

[WaXXyy]

Of course

 

[WaXXyy]

I am doing design of electric machines

 

[snnttldb]

i am so new at maxwell . only two moths. so my question is really simple :) i want to do a linear motor simulation. and i am studying on

SEW-EURODRİVE

typ: SL2-P050S-010

motor. but my desing is not even close with it :S
do you have some advice for me?

 

[WaXXyy]

Advice? :-) If you have any problems, you can ask me. If I knew, I'll help you

 

[snnttldb]

ok than if i send you my project, design could you take a look? and have some problems too. so i can ask them.

 

[WaXXyy]

of course

thank you. my prject is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B18Klo6A0DSta0tQVWhUblluX00/edit?usp=sharing

my basic problem is calculated force. horizontal force is good. about 560 N is ok for me. but vertical force is so big. it would be about 3000N but my calculation result is about 5000 N. i must reduce vertical force and save the horizontal force.
