How to couple mf- and mfnc-Physics?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all,
I want to define material behavior of a permanent magnet via an external function using B(H)-relation. My problem is, that mf-Physics allow H(B)-relation for external functions only. mfnc-Physics however allow B(H) relation for an external function. There's an example for B(H)-relation using mf-and mfnc-Physics, but without any explanation or .mph-File:

So I'm trying to use for the area around the permanent magnet mf-Physics and for the area of the permanent magnet mfnc-Physics, but I'm not able to couple them correctly. There's already been a thread about that kind of problem ...

That was six years ago and no one was able to deliver a (real) solution. Now in the present time, that still seems to be an issue. Can anyone help me out? I would be grateful for any kind of support.

Thanks in advance

Michael

Since no one seems to know, but some one might be interested, I let you know how to couple these Physic-Interfaces ...
The mf-Interphase expects Magnetic Field as input (B(H)-Relation), while the mfnc-Interphase expects Magnetic Fluxdensity as input (H(B)-Relation).

So you have to define for the Interface of both, mf and mfnc, the correct input:
mf: Define Interface-Boundary as Magnetic Field resulting from mfnc-Physics (mfnc.H)
mfnc: Define Interface-Boundary as Magnetic Fluxdensity resulting from mf-Physics (mf.B)
