Faster Analysis of Eddy-Current Problems: Impulse Response Method

Faster Analysis of Eddy-Current Problems: Impulse Response Method

Antti (admin) 23rd October 201617th July 2020 Electrical engineering, FEM, Research and work No Comments

Eddy current problems are usually linear and time-invariant. Thus, they can be fully modelled with their impulse response function.

How to Mesh a Stranded Winding

How to Mesh a Stranded Winding

Antti (admin) 29th September 201614th January 2017 Electrical engineering, FEM, Research and work No Comments

A stranded winding can be analysed with FEM, but it has to be meshed first. Here’s how to pack conductors in a slot for a good-quality mesh.

Time-stepping versus time-harmonic analysis

Time-stepping versus time-harmonic analysis

Antti (admin) 26th June 201626th June 2016 Electrical engineering, FEM, Research and work No Comments

Good afternoon people, I hope you had a great Juhannus. Don’t celebrate it? Start next year. It’s awesome. But to the point: I’ve written on several occasions about time-harmonic analysis, mainly in the context of finite elements (FEM). See for…

Reluctance networks 104: Practical implications

Antti (admin) 24th June 201624th June 2016 Electrical engineering, Reluctance networks, Research and work 2 Comments

Welcome back to my post series about reluctance network analysis. I started it after the acceptance of my paper to the EPNC conference, after which we have discussed some typical mistakes, and seen what to do instead. Today’s post brings…
