3.1 Built-In Library of Materials

A built in library of materials is included to assist with simulation setup. The library allows the user to select from a set of common magnet materials including:

  • Sintered Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB)
  • Samarium Cobalt (SmCo)
  • Bonded Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB)
  • Aluminum-Nickel-Cobalt (AlNiCo)
  • Ceramic Ferrites
  • Rubberized Ferrites

Each material type also has a set of selectable material grades with High/Typical/Low values, which may be selected as desired as shown in #GUID-4A1C161C-9704-47F2-A255-D43B86511CB4.

Figure 3-2 Magnet Selection

If none of the materials match the specific properties of the magnet to be simulated, it is possible to manually overwrite Remanence, Temperature Coefficient and Coercivity for a custom material.
