2-D Volume Integral Formulations for Nonlinear Magneto-Static Field Computation for Rotating Machines Pre-Design Considering Periodicities

This paper provides an alternative approach to the finite elements method of solving magneto-static field for an efficient pre-design of electrical rotating machines. First, the 2-D volume integral formulation will be presented. Second, this formulation will be extended to periodic systems. Comparisons to the finite elements, methods will be carried out to conclude on the performances of the new method presented.
