A method for analyzing an operating point of a permanent magnet performs electromagnetic field analysis based on a B-H curve of the permanent magnet and element data concerning a finite number of elements into which the permanent magnet is divided to obtain the operating point of the permanent magnet. The method includes the steps of storing data of inputted B-H curve; obtaining magnetic flux densities and magnetic fields in plural regions of the permanent magnet by performing the electromagnetic field analysis based on the data of the B-H curve; and obtaining the operating point of each of the elements based on the result of the electromagnetic field analysis by employing a variable, the variable continuously varying in a first quadrant, in a second quadrant, in a third quadrant, and over these quadrants of the B-H curve and linearly varying with respect to the magnetic flux density and magnetic field.
