How to create an ambient magnetic field

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am trying to simulate my structure when immersed in a uniform magnetic field in a 3D block. I tried using inward flux density as the boundary condition of one face, and zero potential as the opposite face, but the simulation did not converge correctly, I got a message saying "Ill-conditioned preconditioner". The structure I am using is simply a piece of soft magnet with nonlinear permeability.

Hi

cant you use the magnetisation M (ampere law node or main magnetic physics material law node)

Good luck

Thanks. That could work in my case. But what if I also have a permanent magnet in my structure? It has a remanent flux density already.
