It often does but that might change when the mfg switch ferrite vendors.
Actually, I've had cases whera a custom run in Asia (they didn't have the value I needed) was cheaper than the catalog part here. At quantities well below five digits which really surprised me. But they won't do a swinging inductor, it has to be on their standard cores and machines.
Ideally I'd like a super-wide ratio. Something like 50:1. The more the better.

Partial sawing would immediately raise the hackles with the engineers at the inductor mfg :-)

Yeah baby!
I had a 1950 Nash... don't remember the model name ("Ambassador" maybe), but it was the full-sized bath-tub shaped body. Front seats folded flat toward the back, making into a bed... perfect teenager's car ;-) ...Jim Thompson

In the '70s, a friend bought his daughter a Mustang-II. He said *that* was a perfect teenager's car. ;-)
Must have been a Statesman, Airflyte or Rambler, AFAIR the other large ones didn't look much like bath tubs. The Nash Metropolitan was the small bath tub.

Oouu, that looks like the Dodge Scamp that granma had back in the '70's. It had such a fast idle when started that I don't think she ever used more than one peddle, the brake. But as a teenager I 'lit up' the rear wheels a few times. :^)

When you specify the data for the custom part, just include the needed parameters for non-saturated currents and for saturated currents, that fits your bill. If the go outside this tolerance band, the part is discarded. That forces the supplier to deliver the same parts that you did the initial testing on

I1TH is current at which you are 1/3 of the way from unsaturated to saturated. I2TH, 2/3 of the way. (Defining both breakpoint _and_ slope.) ...Jim Thompson

Thanks, Jim. I have copied this post into my sim directory among the "secret sauce recipes" :-)
So far I have used simple tanh but your method looks more elaborate and versatile.

ISTR a saying:
"If you can't afford a car, and you're too proud to get a Volkswagen, get a Rambler"
The Metropolitan was made in the UK, by Austin. Should have stayed there.

It looked like it was supposed to become one of those odd three-wheelers they had over there and then they decided to put on four wheels.

AIUI, it was designed to fill Nash's "perceived need" for a small car, drawing on Austin's experience in that field. Wrong on both counts.
Meanwhile, VW were selling millions, worldwide.

They were almost indestructable, with the engine only revving 70% of what the Nash and similar cars did at highways speeds. The downside was that the Beetle took forever to get to 60mph but in that market this wasn't important.
US companies had plenty of designs to draw from if there was a market for small cars but back then there simply wasn't in the US. All they had to do was to open a design cabinet drawer at their overseas subsidiaries. We had the P4 model of this one, for example:

The other downside was Winter. My brother had a Beetle in Minneapolis.

At least Minnesota is mostly flat. The real downside is winter plus hilly terrain. A guy came down one of those circular loops in Aachen Germany and I was waiting at a red traffic light. Thick snow cover everywhere. The "trajectory" of his VW Beetle didn't look kosher. I saw nobody was behind me so I slowly back up. He skidded through where my car was a few seconds ago at a pretty good clip ... swoooosh ... THWOK ... ended up in a big snowbank. I never saw a driver thank me so much as this guy while his face was still pale :-)
One lesson I learned in the army is that when it's a harsh winter, carry a shovel in the trunk.

The problem wasn't driving in winter. Beetles went through snow pretty well, mostly because all the weight was on the drive wheels. The problem was
*heat*, or more precisely the total lack of it. One got *cold* driving those things when it was -34F....and a rated sleeping bag.
