Finite element analysis in electromagnetic system considering vector hysteresis characteristics

This paper describes an implementation of the static magnetic hysteresis using the finite element method and a vector hysteresis model. The vector hysteresis model which is extended from the magnetization-dependent Preisach model is adopted. The magnetization of each element is calculated for a given history of the rotating field. The lagging angle of the magnetization for the applied field is evaluated. It is shown that the magnetization characteristics of the magnetic materials under the rotating field can be explained.
