AC/DC Material Database

The electromagnetic material properties that can be stored in this material database, available in the AC/DC Module, are:

•	Electrical conductivity and resistivity

•	Relative permittivity

•	Relative permeability

•	Nonlinear BH curves

•	Refractive index

The database contains electromagnetic and other material properties for these materials:
