	Young’s modulus (E)	N/m2
	Poisson’s ratio (ν)	1
	Shear modulus (G)	N/m2
Electrical data	Reference temperature (Tref)	°C
	Isotropic resistivity at Tref.	Ohm*m
	Temperature coefficient at Tref.	1/K

Note: The B(H) curve is defined with an analytical model as described in the Advanced section: Create a B(H) curve.

Note: Iron losses are not considered in solid materials.

Note: The relation between the electrical resistivity and the temperature is described in Advanced section: “Impact of temperature on physical properties”.

Note: The thermal conductivity of solid regions is constant whatever is the temperature of the region.
