Material definition problem in ANSYS Maxwell

AI Thread Summary
Ansys Maxwell users are encountering an internal solver error related to the BH curve of the material M270-35A_12, indicating that the slope exceeds acceptable limits, which could result in non-physical solutions. The error suggests verifying the measurement units for B and H, ensuring they are in Wb/m^2 (Tesla) and A/m, respectively, rather than Gauss and Oersted. For ferromagnetic materials, the relative permeability at the end of the BH curve should typically be close to 1-1.2. A calculated slope of A/m/Wb/m^2 indicates a permeability significantly higher than the vacuum permeability, raising concerns about the material definition. Properly defining the material properties is crucial for accurate simulations in Ansys Maxwell.

HI Guys,
I am getting an error in Ansys Maxwell that says

Maxwell2d solver, process solver2d: Internal Solver Error: 'In the Material: M270-35A_12 , the SLOPE of the End Two Points in this BH curve is 56519.1, which is more than 2 times of Mu0; This may lead to a non-physical solution. Please check the BH curve!
Is there anyone that can offer an explanation/help with this Error?
Thank you in advance,
Emy

It is hard to say what is the problem. In my opinion you entered wrong measuring units.

B has to be Wb/m^2[Tesla] and H A/m. Check if they are not gauss and oersted.

However, even for a ferromagnetic material the relative permeability of the end part of BH curve has to be close to 1-1.2

If the SLOPE it is A/m/Wb/m^2 then miu [=Wb/m^2/A/m]=1/56519.1=1.7693E-5 H/m that means 14 times the vacuum permeability [miuo=1.25664E-06 H/m].

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
