Material definition problem in ANSYS Maxwell

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion addresses an internal solver error encountered in ANSYS Maxwell related to the material definition for M270-35A_12. The error indicates that the slope of the BH curve exceeds the acceptable limit, suggesting potential issues with the input measuring units. Specifically, the magnetic flux density (B) should be in Wb/m² (Tesla) and the magnetic field strength (H) in A/m, with a recommended relative permeability close to 1-1.2 for ferromagnetic materials. The discussion emphasizes the importance of verifying the units to avoid non-physical solutions.

PREREQUISITES

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].
