Abstract
A method is proposed for operating a steering system of a motor vehicle, in particular an electromechanically supported steering system. First, at least one first virtual magnet and one second virtual magnet are provided in the steering system of the motor vehicle. A virtual magnetic force exerted on each other by the multiple virtual magnets is determined. A setpoint force that is to be applied to a lower part of the steering system is estimated and an auxiliary force with which a servo motor of the steering system acts on the lower part of the steering system is determined from the specified virtual magnetic force and the estimated setpoint force.
