Abstract

A finite-difference method (FDM) is presented that is well suited to cope with highly saturated iron parts. The system of equations is solved by a double iteration method. Instead of the usual B-H curve of iron materials, a mu (B) table is used. For induction values above 3 T the table is extrapolated by an appropriate theoretical function. Using a standard PC it is possible to handle nonlinear problems with up to 6000 points in about four hours computing time. This is sufficient to calculate a large variety of two-dimensional problems with high accuracy. The practical use of the program is demonstrated by several examples.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
