Engineers and mathematicians both love to speak about convergence, often confusing the everloving waste out of each other. Read here to avoid that fate.
Solving TEAM30a with SMEKlib and Comsol
How to solve the TEAM Workshop Problem 30a with SMEKlib, plus a comparison between it and Comsol. This time, SMEKlib was 5 times faster.
Periodicity, Symmetry Sectors, and Associated Errors
Electrical machines are often simulated with symmetry sectors and periodicity conditions. This speeds up things a lot, but occasionally leads to weirdness.
What are Skin and Proximity Effect, or Circulating Currents
Skin and proximity effect can dramatically increase the losses in your electromagnetic device, as can circulating currents. Read here to learn about them!

Last Week’s FEA Tonight with Antti
Elsewhere in FEAsphere: failure modes, and how and why they are indeed uncertain. Plus stochastics in buckling, and some collaboration in the making.
Determining and Quantifying Sources of Uncertainty
Uncertainty quantification requires determining the sources of uncertainty, such as deviations in the product dimensions. Here’s how to do it.

Conclusion of the Electromechanics Survey. Common issues identified for the people on this awesome field – future posts will address the key problems.
Frequency Response Analysis – When Motors Explode
Frequency response analysis is used to analyze how a system reacts to a specific excitation. Or, as I like to put it, when things explode.
