AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for analyzing magnetic hysteresis of anisotropic magnetic materials. Magnetic hysteresis loops associated with a local coordinate of a coordinated system based on a magnetic field successively applied to each principal axis with an isotropic vector play model are determined. A relaxation factor associated with the convergence behaviors of estimated solution points is applied along with a correction, either a magnetic field correction or a flux density correction, to determine target points on magnetic hysteresis loops. An error between magnetic hysteresis loops and the estimated solution points is determined. The iteration process continues up to a preset number of iterations with alternating correction schemes based on the determined error.
