Importing a B-P Curve From a File

For the loss characteristics (B-P Curve), you first set the Core Loss Model of the material to Electrical Steel or Power Ferrite as a material property in the View/Edit Material window. When you do so, this enables the Calculate Properties selection for drop down at the bottom of the window. Select either Core Loss at One Frequency or Core Loss versus Frequency from the drop down menu to open the B-P Curve window.

For Core Loss at One Frequency:

  1. In the BP Curve dialog box, click Import Dataset to open the Import Dataset dialog box.

  2. Find and select the tab separated points file containing the BP curve data points.
  3. Click Open.
  4. Optionally, click Swap X-Y Data to switch the B values and P values if they are in the wrong columns.

For Core Loss versus Frequency:

  1. In the Core Loss versus Frequency dialog box, if needed, enter the desired Frequency and click Add.

  2. Click Edit Dataset for the desired frequency to open the Edit Dataset dialog box.
  3. Click Import Dataset to open Import Datasetdialog box.
  4. Find and select the tab separated points file containing the BP curve data points.
  5. Click Open.
  6. Optionally, click Swap X-Y Data to switch the B values and P values if they are in the wrong columns.
