  Dear guys, I am finding some problems in reproducing eddy currents induced in a component made of stainless steel. I am using another code to evaluate it, and the ones that Ansys Maxwell gives me it is right the half of the others.
  
  I was thinking that maybe it is a problem of materials definition, and I was finding a way to choose a stainless steel AISI 316 L that apparently does not exist in MAXWELL libraries. Could someone help me?
  
  cheers

  Hi, You can always add new materials to the library If you have the required properties of the material.
  
  In this case, if you have magnetic properties (and loss data) of the material (steel AISI 316 L),
  
  Go to Tools > Edit Libraries > Materials
  
  Select Add material at the bottom of the window.
  
  Select relative permeability as non-linear to add the BH-Curve
  
  Refer to the Add new Material section in ANSYS Maxwell Help.
  
  Help > Maxwell Pdfs > Maxwell help
