Abstract :
[en] The consideration of electromagnetic field sources in potential formulations necessitates the definition of source fields. Such source fields are first defined for both volume and boundary constraints in static electromagnetic models. Then, automatic procedures are proposed to conveniently and efficiently characterize discrete source fields, with regard to their use in finite element formulations, their supports, their direct expression requiring no pre-computation, and their associated constraints. Two application examples are proposed to illustrate the approach.
