Comparison of various methods for 3-D eddy current analysis

Abstract

Computer codes developed for the A- phi , A- phi - Omega , A- Omega , T- Omega , and E- Omega methods are considered. Their accuracy, storage requirements, and CPU time are compared for linear eddy-current models. It is shown that the A- phi - Omega and T- Omega methods are preferable from the viewpoint of accuracy. The A- Omega and E- Omega methods are preferable with respect to storage and CPU time.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
