Sorting materials

It is possible to sort out the materials lists in their database by:

• Manufacturer
• Family
• Property
• Alphabetical order

The sorting is available via the following component:

Model creation help

A help window for model creation is available through the following icon:

Summary

A summary is automatically built for each material from the completed data. It contains the following parts:

• General: the general data
• Additional information: the date of creation and of modification
• Magnetic characteristics: the name of the model and the physical parameters recovered or evaluated starting from the model (it allows to verify the model)
• Electric/thermal characteristics: the name of the model

The icon to display or hide the summary window is:

Curve

Once the material magnetic model is completed, the associated curve is ploted.

The user can choose the quantity to display:

• B(H)
• µ_incremental(H), where µ_incremental = dB/dH: this curve permits the user to verify the validity of the model (unsmoothed spline) in Flux. The curve must be decreasing and must approach 1 to the infinite.
• J(H): this curve is useful for permanent magnets
