Techniques for boundary element analysis of three-dimensional eddy current distribution

An analysis of three-dimensional eddy-current distribution by a boundary-element method using field vector variables is described. A triangular element is used as a boundary element. The electric field vector and magnetic flux density vector are defined as the unknown vectors and are assumed to be constant on each triangular element. For forming simultaneous equations, the computation point on the triangular element is set at the null point, where the triangular element itself does not induce tangential components of the electric field and the magnetic flux density.>
