I have another question related to anisotropy. I change the permeability to anisotropic, then, just for the sake of validation, I supply the original BH curve for all three magnetization directions. The solver fails with an error "One of the input ascending/descending curves does not valid for hyeteresis loop" (sic). At the same time, the solver has no problem accepting the same curve for isotropic materials.

I've looked at the Maxwell help about anisotropic materials but I don't seem to find an explanation why would the solver accept the same BH curve for isotropic materials but reject it for anisotropic ones. Can you please advise?
