Hi Mike,
I was in the same boat before so I can't stand seeing you suffer. I have modelled the magnet, pole piece and yoke of a loudspeaker coil configuration,but I have not studied the effect of the coil current on the magnetic field nor indeed the combined effects of the 2 magnetic fields on the coil current (assuming constant Vrms drive). The attached file depicts half of the magnet assembly which is assumed axis symmetry in Polar coordinate. The configuration and the value of B in the coil gap have been verified experimentally. The model is belivable, ask me for the zone of uncertainty if you needto. I cannot remember without looking it up in my data files.
I would dearly like to know the conculsion of your study if it is OK with you.

Subject: [femm] Modelling loudspeaker magnets..
Hello folks,
I'm kind of new to using FEMM, and am trying to model a loudspeaker
coil/magnet assembly for my final year university project. I'm
modelling to observe the effect the flux generated by the coil has on
the permanent magnetic field. The model is really simple - one block
of steel, one block of Neodinium, and one (and sometimes two) coils
(which are represented by square blocks at present, though may get
changed to circles) in the gap between them. My problem is in not
understanding how to input data for magnets - I modelled the system
with no current in the coil (and with no coil at all) expecting to
see field lines between the neodinium and the steel, and saw
nothing. When looking at material properties, there are lots of
values for constants I don't understand, nor did I really understand
the manual either. Can anybody point me in the right direction? The
model is just to show that the coil affects the permanent field when
a current runs through it, and by adding a seconc coil in antiphase
this can reduce this problem.
Many many thanks, I'm getting desperate!
Best Wishes,
Mike Wheeler
