MagNet-AI: Neural Network as Datasheet for Magnetics Modeling and Material Recommendation

This article presents the MagNet-AI platform as an online platform to demonstrate the “neural network as datasheet” concept for

loop mapping relationships of magnetic materials under different excitation waveforms at different temperatures and dc bias. Long short-term memory and transformer-based neural network models are developed, verified, and compared. The neural network can be used to rapidly predict hysteresis loops and core losses under different operating conditions, compare materials, and recommend materials for design. The neural network model is also proved effective in reconstructing the raw measurement while accurately maintaining the magnetic characteristics, enabling rapid material evaluation and comparison.
