Abstract :
[en] Coupling between edge finite elements, nodal finite elements and boundary elements for the calculation of 3D eddy currents is presented. Its aim is to allow an adequate treatment of different formulations using scalar and vector variables. Three kinds of edge elements - tetrahedron, hexahedron and prism - are investigated and compared.
