Investigation of effectiveness of various methods with different unknown variables for 3-D eddy current analysis
Computer codes using the A-φ, A-φ-Ω, A*-0Ω-E, T-Ω, and E-Ω methods were developed. The effects of the volume ratio of the conductor region to the whole region, the shape of the conductor, and the ratio of the hole region to the conductor region on the computer storage, the CPU time, and the accuracy of the methods are investigated systematically using a few simple models. The effect of the conductivity of the conductor is also examined. The computer storage, the CPU time, and the error are found to increase with increase of the volume ratio of the conductor region to the whole region. The computer storage and the CPU time are affected by the shape of the conductor in some methods of analysis. The error of the A*-Ω(E-Ω) method is larger than that of the other methods</p
