Mesh generation of FEM by ANN on iron — Core transformer

Artificial neural network (ANN) has emerged as a potential tool for processing many applications because it is capable of recognizing patterns. This study is proposed to apply feed-forward neural network to generate mesh models in finite element method for analysis of iron-core transformer. The results of the proposed neural network for mesh generation are compared with those of Delaunay and random method. Mesh generation from the proposed method shows satisfactory results. Results from error norm approximation and finite element calculation are consistent.
