PM Temperature Dependent Model
Maxwell 2D/3D can account for Permanent Magnet temperature
dependency. The law works directly on intrinsic BiH curve with
remanent flux density Br and intrinsic coercivity Hci
B = Bi + µ 0 H
The Two temperature dependent parameters are remanent flux
density Br and intrinsic coercivity Hci
Br and Hci can be described by second order polynomials as
( )
Br (T ) = Br (T0 ) 1 + α1 (T − T0 ) + α 2 (T − T0 ) = Br (T0 ) P (T )
2
H ci (T ) = H ci (T )(1 + β (T − T ) + β (T − T ) ) = H
2
0 1 0 2 0 ci (T0 ) Q(T )
where T0 is the reference temperature, and α1, α2, β1 and β2 are
coefficients which are provided in supplier datasheets

Q3D – Magnetic Materials
Using Maxwell:
• FEM - Need to mesh to account for skin depth at each frequency
• Can lead to huge mesh for higher frequencies as skin depth decreases but
gives best accuracy in transition region
• Two Matrix solutions at each frequency (one for Fields, one for R-L matrix)
Using Q3D:
• BEM – Surface mesh only
• Only 1 solution for DC, 1 solution for AC
• Transition region determined by blended algorithm
• No need to mesh for skin depth
• Easier setup but may not give best accuracy in transition region
