Development and implementation of a finite element program for static electromagnetic field problems

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

A program is presented for the solution of static electromagnetic fields in bounded and unbounded 2- dimensional domains. The program comprises of a mesh generator which descretises the domain into triangular finite elements or if applicable into special elements, called infinite elements which model the bounded and unbounded domains respectively. The potential function is solved for, using a special solution technique which enhances the speed of the program. The program outputs data in the form of potential or flux component distributions along lines of interest.
