A Hybrid Boundary Element Method-Reluctance Network Method for Open Boundary 3D Non Linear Problems
Résumé
A scalar potential formulation coupling a hybrid boundary element method and a reluctance network method is presented to
solve 3-D nonlinear magnetostatic problems. The computation times and the accuracy of this approach are compared with those of
the finite element method in the context of force and torque evaluations. It is shown that this method could efficiently be used for
the presizing of actuators. Discussion concerning the advantages of this approach compared to a pure reluctance network method
is also presented.
