Eddy-current analysis using vector hysteresis models with play and stop hysterons

Vector hysteresis models are applied to an eddy-current analysis. The vector hysteresis models are composed by play hysterons and stop hysterons. The eddy-current analysis shows that both play and stop hysteron models can effectively describe isotropic vector hysteretic behavior. The stop hysteron model is more efficient in analyses using the magnetic vector potential than the play model because the stop model can give the magnetic field from the magnetic flux density without an iteration process.
