6.2 Material models for electromagnetic problems in Abaqus/CAE

Products: Abaqus/Standard  Abaqus/CAE  

Benefits: Abaqus/CAE now supports material models for magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity that allow you to carry out time-harmonic eddy current analyses.

Description: Abaqus/CAE supports electromagnetic capabilities to carry out time-harmonic eddy current analyses (see Time-harmonic electromagnetic analysis in Abaqus/CAE, Section 4.3). You need to define magnetic permeability everywhere in the domain and electrical conductivity in the conductor regions. The material properties can be isotropic, orthotropic, or anisotropic and can also be defined to be frequency, temperature, and/or field-variable dependent. Only linear magnetic and electrical behaviors can be modeled.
