Defining a BH loop in Ansys Maxwell?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

To define a BH loop in Ansys Maxwell, users must input hysteresis loop data into the core loss model rather than the relative permeability section. The relative permeability must not contain more than one quadrant and should not include hysteresis data. Additionally, the initial value of B must be set to 0, and the slope at any point must not be less than the permeability of free space (u0). Failure to adhere to these specifications results in errors during the definition process.

Does anyone have an idea how to insert a BH loop like the one I have attached in Ansys Maxwell and not get an error like in the other picture which is also attached?

I have seen it multiple times in different texts but can't define one myself without getting this annoying error.
Also the data that I have inserted does not start from (0,0) but don't worry about that because the error would show up either way.
any experience with this?

Those are in two different locations, BH curve in material properties (relative permeability) cannot contain more than one quadrant and no hysteresis data, initial value of B must be 0, slope at any point must not be less than u0 etc.

(Caveat have not used this) But my understanding is Maxwell handles the hysteresis effect in the core loss model for a material, and that is where you stick in that hysteresis loop data, not in the relative permeability section. I'm not sure if this is literally just a loss model and only gives you Watts or if it would calculate the full magnetic impact of the hysteresis.
