MOR for the MSFEM of the Eddy Current Problem in Linear Laminated Media

Abstract

The multiscale finite element method has proven to be a powerful method in the simulation of eddy currents in laminated cores. However, the resulting equation systems of the problems relevant in electrical engineering are still too large to be solved conveniently. The use of model order reduction methods to overcome this shortcoming is obvious. The feasibility to exploit the specific approach of the multiscale finite element method in terms of a structural model order reduction method has been studied in this work. A small numerical example shows satisfactory results.
