Ferrofluids in FEMM

Anybody got any tips on how to model ferrofluids in FEMM?
In particular, how do I set saturation magnetization level?

Also, I am having trouble find any info on typical coercivity and permeabilities for ferrofluids.

I am currently using 2.7 for relative permeability, does this sound remotely reasonable. (this was based on a number I found for EFH-1 by Ferrotec)

Thanks,
AJ
