3-D Magnetostatic Field Analysis Using Boundary Element Method |
| Abstract |
A three dimensional magnetostatic probodm is analyzed using the boundary element method and the magnetic scalar potential are employed in order to reduce the size of system matrix. Although the total magnetic scalar potential gives very accurate solutions at inner and outer regions of magnetic materal, the method has limitation on application because the magnetic scalar potential due to applied magnetic field sources is hard to be obtained. The reduced magnetic scalar potential gives more or less inaccurate solutions inside the magnetic material but very accurate solutions outside. Hence it can be concluded that the reduced magnetic scalar potential is very useful when the magnetic fields of outside of magnetic fields of outside of magnetic material are interested. It is also shown, from the numerical example, that the linear shape function gives more efficient solutions than the constant shape functions. |
