Modeling of ferrite materials

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all,

could anyone recommend good literature on the modeling of ferrite materials? I am especially interested in hysteresis losses.

Best regards
Matthias

I am wondering the same thing. Any update on this, or even with eddy current loss as the case may be? Thank you ahead of time.

Hi,

no, nothing really useful yet. But I wasn't looking full time into the topic.

Hey, I'm not sure if you ever got to answer this yourself, but Akmal on this thread www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/18952/ shared an example of Hysteresis losses using the Jiles-Atherton method. I haven't been able to look into it too much, but it seems very clean and simple and it appears to give hysteresis using a time dependent simulation.

FYI, i'm pretty sure it requires 4.2 to open.

Hi everyone,

I do not know if you are still looking for an appropriate modeling approach. However, I attached a picture of a hysteresis loop calculated with COMSOL. For more information, see

Kind regards,
Alex

Hi Brock,

I just got the same effect - hysteresis in time dependent simulation. Do you know how COMSOL calculates this hysteresis? I cannot find any reference in COMSOL documentation.

Best regards,
Dima.

It really depends on the modeling method. I only have experience with the one Jiles-Atherton, but it basically is yourself modeling it and not COMSOL, they are just mathematical equations that switch sign depending on the direction of change (in this case) of magnetic field. I'm sorry I can't get too much more in depth than that. They did tell me at one point, they are working on making it more robust and applicable in a future version, but I have no idea when that would be.
