Ansys maxwell 3d material library

AI Thread Summary
Users can manually add new materials, such as magnets, to Ansys Maxwell 3D by navigating to Tools -> Edit Configured Libraries -> Materials -> Add Material and selecting Permanent Magnet. For the N50 magnet, key properties like relative permeability (Mu) and coercivity (Hc) were discussed, with specific values provided: Br = 1.425, Hc = -971,000 A/m. A warning about the coercivity value being positive was addressed, and it was confirmed that using a negative value resolved the issue. The discussion also touched on challenges with simulating a linear motor design, particularly in balancing calculated forces. Users are encouraged to share projects for collaborative problem-solving.

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

For Magnetic Coercivity you must put negative value: Hc=-971 000 A/m
 
  • #12
ok. i will try negative value. thank you for your help
 
  • #13
i change Hc value to negative and now it seems ok. thank you so much. may i ask what are you doing with maxwell?
 
  • #14
Of course
 
  • #15
I am doing design of electric machines

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?
 
  • #17
Advice? :-) If you have any problems, you can ask me. If I knew, I'll help you
 
  • #18
ok than if i send you my project, design could you take a look? and have some problems too. so i can ask them.
 
  • #19
of course
