In this paper, a three-dimensional (3-D) generic magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) using mesh-based formulation was developed for the electrical engineering applications. The particularity of this model consists in a discretization with hexahedral mesh elements, which can be chosen by the designer. For example, the 3-D generic MEC has been applied to a U-cored static electromagnetic device. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique, the semianalytic results have been compared with those obtained using 3-D finite-element analysis (FEA). The computation time is divided by 3 with an error less than 1 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
