Electromagnet

Hello Comsol community and it's members,
I have modelled an electromagnet, where the Yoke has 2 coils near the split (Please see the attached mph file) . I want to check how saturation of the Iron Yoke varies with increasing field B. I have solved the linear problem, where miu(r) (relative permeability) is constant (4000). Now I want to solve the problem non linearly, where Miu(r) depends on B, or H depends on B, but the problem is, when I make "user defined" miu(r) or "HB curve- User Defined H" and input a function, Comsol solves it, but ignores the Iron Core completely! Plus, the values of the Magnetic field goes sky high up to thousands of Tesla, which is "probably" not physical.
I hope you'll be able to help me with this problem,
Many Thanks in advance,
Konstantin

Hi!
I have modified your file: soft iron with losses as example. The HB-curve is defined in the material.
You have to add an extra Ampere's Law for the iron part and change Magnetic Field definition to HB-curve.
Air domain should be left to mur=1.

Thank you Ralf!
Very nice results!!!
Now I'll try to understand how you did it.
