Yes, I tried that. That setting has no effect on my simulation. My understanding, after extensive RTFM, is that I need to set up a chain of three designs to model the magnetic hysteresis effects, as described in the docs. I'm wondering if it's possible to somehow do it in a single design; can you share any advice?

I also understood that I need to define the BH curves via the core loss model instead of the magnetic permeability model if I want to compute magnetization in both directions, right? Sadly the common AlNiCo grades provided in the materials library don't have the core loss model defined so I will need to supply my own material data, which is a bit inconvenient.
