Complex permeability and region definition

Yerai Moreno Lafuente

Hello, 

I am trying to model a magnetic core in high frequency in flux, and when defining the material, I found the linera isotropic complex magnetic property.

There, I introduce the real and complex permeability curves, that depend on frequency, with of the lamination of material and resistivity.

In the resistivity of the material, I introduce the same resistivity value.

However, when defining the face region, I don´t know if I should declare it as a solid conductor, or declare it as a magnetic non-conducting region.

Does someone have any idea of what it the correct way of doing it?

Thank you in advance

Hi Yerai,

 

If you want to model a ferrite core you can define the face region as a magnetic non-conducting region, without computing the Joule losses or solid conductor region where the current density will be computed.

 

Otherwise, if you want to model a magnetic core made of sheets you can choose the laminated magnetic non-conducting region, where you specify the thickness of the sheet and the stacking factor.

 

Best regards,

Alexandru
