Help with ANSOFT MAXWELL 3D Magnetic material

In summary, the conversation is about assigning permanent magnetic materials in ANSOFT MAXWELL and setting the magnetization direction with x, y, and z unit vectors. The question is whether a specific material needs to be created for each body with a different rotation angle and how the transient solver will behave if the bodies are moved. The speaker also mentions an issue they had with the magnetization direction not turning with the rotation of the magnet-object in Maxwell 3D v11.

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
