SOME CORRELATIONS BETWEEN CHARACTERISTICS, CALCULATION METHODS AND SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS FOR SIMULATION OF EFFECTS OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD

Abstract

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the calculation methods of the electromagnetic field(EMF) parameters in relation to the possibilities of implementation in some software applications. The software applications referred to are generated either by developing numerical analysis and simulation algorithms using general software or by accessing modules designed to solve electromagnetic field problems within dedicated software products. Some correlations are made between the calculation of EMF's characteristic sizes and the possibilities for PC implementation, taking into account certain criteria such as the advantages or deficiencies of applying calculation models, the approximations and rendering of real phenomena, computational errors and calculating time etc. The examples of the paper are focused especially on numerical analysis solutions adapted to the components of electrical networks or equipments specific to the electric power domain.
