Defining Magnetic Loss Tangent Tensors
If the material property is anisotropic, its characteristics are defined by its anisotropy tensor. You must define three diagonals for anisotropic magnetic loss tangent. Each diagonal represents a tensor of your model along an axis.
These tensors are relative to the coordinate system specified as the object’s Orientation property. By specifying different orientations, several objects can share the same anisotropic material but be oriented differently.
- In the Magnetic Loss Tangent row in the View/Edit Material window, select Anisotropic from the Type drop-down menu.
- Enter the ratio of the imaginary relative permeability to the real relative permeability in one direction in the Value box of the T(1,1) row.
- Enter the ratio of the imaginary relative permeability to the real relative permeability in the second direction in the Value box of the T(2,2) row.
- Enter the ratio of the imaginary relative permeability to the real relative permeability in the third direction in the Value box of the T(3,3) row.
Three rows named T(1,1), T(2,2) and T(3,3) are added below the Magnetic Loss Tangent row.
If the magnetic loss tangent is the same in all directions, use the same values for each direction. These values can also be defined as variables.
