Articles techniques et présentations

Outline of presentation:

• In electromagnetic technology applications the finite element method is very well suited for a wide range of problem types
• For many cases, in particular when inhomogeneous materials having complex properties are involved as well as when multiphysics couplings are essential, it is the only option available
• The somewhat unfavourable performance scaling with problem size is becoming increasingly compensated by more powerful computers and more efficient solver routines
• A technique to self-consistently include wires and slots, thinner than the element size, would be highly appreciated

---------------------------------- Keynote speaker's biography:

Göran Eriksson received his Ph.D. in the field of Plasma Physics and Theoretical Electrotechnics from Uppsala University. After working for more than 12 years at Saab AB, mainly with numerical simulations of electromagnetic phenomena such as lightning damage effects, he is now employed by ABB Corporate Research. His work is focused towards electromagnetic and multiphysics modeling of high voltage power products and system components.

Göran Eriksson was one of the keynote speakers at the COMSOL User's Conference, fall 2009 in Milan.
