Computational Accuracy Enhancement in Magnetic Field Analysis by using Orthogonalized Infinite Edge Element Method

Abstract

The electromagnetic phenomena intrinsically spread over the infinite region. Thus, the efficient handling of open boundary is one of the main issues in the electromagnetic field computations. This paper deals with the orthogonalized infinite edge element method which efficiently performs precise analysis of the infinite region. In this method, there are several parameters to achieve its high accuracy. As one of the parameters, we focus on the reference point and investigate the effect of its position setting on the accuracy. Furthermore, we also evaluate the accuracy of the calculated magnetic field at distance region. By applying boundary element method (BEM) as post-processing, it is found that the high computational accuracy in the region can be effectively achieved.
