Vectorial Preisach-type model designed for parallel computing

Most of the hysteresis phenomenological models are scalar, while all the magnetization processes are vectorial. The vector models phenomenological or micromagnetic (physical) - are time consuming and sometimes difficult to implement. In this paper, we introduce a new vector Preisach-type model that uses micromagnetic results to simulate the magnetic response of a system of several tens of thousands of pseudo-particles. The model has a modular structure that allows easy implementation for parallel computing. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
