A coupling between electric circuits and 2D magnetic field modeling

A method which enables coupling between equations of electric circuits consisting of a lumped element RLC configuration and a magnetic field model is presented. The coupling between the finite-element and the boundary-element methods is used to compute the magnetic field produced by conductors excited by an electric circuit. The conductors involved in this computation may be connected according to any circuit topology and mixed with lumped elements. The method presented is general and allows a transient simulation of eddy current nonlinear problems with conductors excited by electric circuits.<
