Summary for: get_materialData

get_materialData Get material data struct.

data = get_materialData(matId) returns a struct containing at least the following fields of physical quantities in SI units:

• name : material name or matId
• B, H : BH curve
• properties : a struct, see below .

as well as the following fields intended for simulation-specific use

• elements : a placeholder array for use with meshes
• plot_args : Default plotting arguments

The properties struct has the following fields

• coeffs : iron loss coefficients (hysteresis, eddy, excess) as (W/kg) at 1 T and 50 Hz
• rho : Density
• sigma : Electrical conductivity at 20C
• alpha_sigma : Temperature coefficient for 1/sigma (p.u. per K)
• lambda : Thermal conductivity
• Br : remanence flux density (PM materials)
• alpha_Br : remanence temperature coefficient (p.u. per K)
• mur : relative recoil permeability (PM materials)

matId can either be a string pointing to a material data csv file, or a number corresponding to the materials in get_defaultMaterials
