Choice of ferromagnetic material ?

["marsupiofr" <marsupio@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm dealing with a squirrel cage induction machine in FEMM right now. 
I know that the material used in this machine is labelled : Fe V 1000-
65 HD (French norm). I found some equivalent reference : M1000-65D 
(European norm). But do not know which material to choose in the FEMM 
database. I only run DC analysis (to calculate some inductances) and 
the machine is not in a saturated state. For the moment, I use pure 
iron for the rotor and the stator frame. Is there a great mistake 
here to modelize the frames with pure iron ? Should I use another 
material ?
