The lab facilitates accurate measurement of hysteresis loops and primary magnetization curves in magnetic materials for modeling purposes in finite element programs such as ANSYS. In addition to magnetic properties, we investigate resistivity, and temperature dependence up to 300 °C in metals and composite materials. We are able to combine the measurements with Ansys modeling.
