Abstract
The finite element solution gives the potential at the nodes. This information by itself is usually of little interest in machinery analysis. We use this information to compute useful quantities such as flux density (see Chapter 1). Using the finite element solution to find useful quantities is called postprocessing. In this chapter we will see how to use the field solution to find eddy current loss, resistance and inductance. Slot leakage inductance will be found as an example.
