Abstract :

[en] A 3-D finite-element method mesh is converted to a reluctance network through an original magnetostatic formulation based on facet shape functions interpolation of the magnetic induction. This network is coupled with a standard reluctance network, characterizing a 0-D system and solved by a circuit solver approach. © 1965-2012 IEEE.
