EMSolution Basics

This is an explanation of the electromagnetic field analysis technology on which the electromagnetic field analysis software, EMSolution is based. First, an overview of EMSolution will be presented.

  • 1.Introduction

    This section provides an overview of EMSolution.

  • 2. Main features of EMSolution

    A brief description of the functions of EMSolution.

  • 3.Main characteristics of analysis methods in EMSolution

    Main characteristics of analysis methods in EMSolution.

  • 4.Consideration of analysis methods

    The advantages of the finite element method are described.

  • 4-1.$A$-$\phi$ method

    Potential $A$-$\phi$ method and two-potential method are explained.

  • 4-2.Edge element method

    The advantages of the edge element method and our experiences in its development are explained, as well as the handling of potentials and gauge indefiniteness.

  • 4-3.ICCG method

    The relationship between the handling of indeterminacy and the ICCG method is explained based on our experiences. In particular, our engineer showed that the ICCG method can solve indefinite and indeterminate equations, and that the solution is reasonable when the residuals are at their smallest, thus establishing the edge element finite element method in a firm position.

  • 4-4.Nonlinear iterative method

    This section explains how to treat the Newton-Raphson method, which is a nonlinear iterative method.

  • 4-5.Nodal force method

    The nodal force method, an electromagnetic force calculation method developed by our engineers, is explained. Currently, the nodal force method is the mainstream electromagnetic force calculation method, especially in Japan.

  • 4-6.Handling of motion

    Three methods of coupled motion analysis in EMSolution are explained.

  • 4-7.Other distinctive features

    This section describes some of the other unique features of EMSolution that were not fully explained.

  • 5.Conclusion

    Summary and issues to be solved are described.
