Fast Algorithms for the Design of Complex-Shape Devices in Electromechanics

  • Chapter
Book cover Computational Methods for the Innovative Design of Electrical Devices

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 327))

Abstract

The analysis of complex-shape electromechanical devices is considered. The use of numerical Schwarz-Christoffel (SC) mapping, coordinated with finite element (FE) analysis, is proposed for fast computation of 2D fields.
