For definition of permanent magnet you need
demagnetization curve. You have to put coercitivity
(Hc) and demagnetization curve shifted to origin (0,0)
to FEMM.
For modeling of a magnet with linear characteristics
(for example Nd-Fe-B)you need to know only
coercitivity and relative permeability.
Some materials of permanent magnets you can find in
library included to FEMM, so you don't need to put the
information to FEMM manualy.
More you can find in manual for FEMM.
