Ok, I've now tried a different BH curve for Iron and got results closer to what I expect. I'll post the results up here later in case anyone is interested.

The picture of the slice looks like there is a small different between the side with steel and the opposite side without it. Paraview have the option "Probe Location". With this function you can check if the relative permeability is 1000 or 1 (or something else). I don't really think so, ...

To give some further information, I get similar results with a nonlinear BH curve, my sif file and BH curve data (or rather HB curve) are shown below: sif file: $filename = "elmer_rel_permeability_test" ! ======================================================================! ! HEADER ! ! ...

Hello, I'm trying to model a simple bar magnet beside a piece of iron. In my sif file I have set the 'Relative Permeability' of the material but it doesn't seem to have any effect, it's just treated like the surrounding air. I've attached my whole project including sif and mesh etc. in the attached ...

We just upgraded FreeCAD with latest SMESH version coming directly from Salome with the intend to stop forking things and follow parallel path. We report bugs to each other now and FreeCAD is currently able to MESH without any issue through SMESH either using python or C++ (the C++ side is far much...

Why, any specific interest or idea behind that ? A couple of reasons, FreeCAD shape objects in python support easy translation to and from pythonOCC objects, so you could in theory create FreeCAD solids and easily mesh them using all the power of SMESH in the same script. The other reason is that t...

You'll find a few examples on the forum if you look for a while, here's one of the best I've found. http://www.elmerfem.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4007&p=14377&hilit=coil&sid=7ac6a130a3ed254ad0821ec134771a78#p14377 There are also a few examples in the tests that come with the sour...

Might it be possible to enable an equation editor for the forum (e.g. http://www.codecogs.com/pages/forums/pa ... hp?id=1682)

It would help a lot with discussing math heavy topics.

vejmarie, are you and the Salome team aware of PythonOCC and their SMESH version? They've recently updated it to work with OCC 17, although I don't think their python interface for SMESH works yet.

I don't know FreeCAD - does it have the functionality that Salomé offers? Matthias I can answer this, FreeCAD is a far far superior solid modelling program than Salome, you can create complex parametrised models, that are built up in a tree like modern commercial modellers (so changes in one place ...
