From Horace,
The pushing of the BH curve into the interior of the PM when two

poles are pushed closer together is quite evident graphically
speaking
when performing FEMM simulations. I noticed this effect all the time
in my FEMM simulations. The result invariably is that repulsive
forces
seem to be weaker
But they aren't.
I suppose the key phrase is: "seem[s] to be weaker."
I suppose it comes down to a matter of interpretation. ;-)
I think it is solely a matter of obtaining a valid reproducible
experiment.
Best regards,
