Core losses in dual big inductors

I look forward to it.

I wish that LTspice would allow you to label axes, like I can do with Berkeley, using gnuplot.

PSpice allows text, arrows, circles, etc. to be added to plots.

I also use Adobe Acrobat v4 to edit text such that some complex math expression in a Probe plot becomes, for example, "Power Dissipated (Watts)".... so my customers can understand >:-} ...Jim Thompson

So does LTspice.

For some reason, the plot file I posted "windows" the plot.

You need the full data.

Either "zoom full extents", before integrating the power waveform, or use this one instead:

Increasing Hc from 8 to 20 approximately doubles the hysteresis loss.

Here's a plot file that does what I intended:

[Transient Analysis] { Npanes: 2 Active Pane: 1 { traces: 1 {524290,0,"V(out)/(10*10.3e-6)"} Parametric: "I(L1)*10/15.7e-3" X: (' ',0,-420,70,420) Y[0]: ('m',0,-0.4,0.08,0.4) Y[1]: ('_',0,1e+308,0,-1e+308) Volts: ('m',0,0,0,-0.4,0.08,0.4) Log: 0 0 0 GridStyle: 1 }, { traces: 1 {524291,0,"V(N001)*I(L1)"} X: ('m',1,0,0.0002,0.002) Y[0]: ('m',0,-0.028,0.007,0.049) Y[1]: ('_',0,1e+308,0,-1e+308) Units: "W" ('m',0,0,0,-0.028,0.007,0.049) Log: 0 0 0 GridStyle: 1 } }
