Hi

I'm having an issue ANSOFT MAXWELL :
Assigning a permanent magnetic material to a body (for ex NDFE35) provides me a means of setting the magnetization direction (through x,y,z unit vectors ) inside the material settings

so if i have multiple PM bodies rotated :-
1- do i need to create a specific material for each according to their rotation angle ?
2- how do the transient solver behave if these bodies are moved, will it correct the vectors accordingly?

it seems that I'm missing something, please help
 
Hi Motash,
I ever had the same issue. Then i was try to find it out, and unfortunately Maxwell didn't turn the magnetisation direction with the turning of the Magnet-object. I forgot, if I could use a formula with the angle as a variable parameter value in the XYZ- and coercivity rows at the material-databank, which represents the value of the turning. I'm not sure anymore. (Maybe I was too lazy and I just created several materials). Anyway I didn't like that habit of maxwell 3D v11
