Abstract:

Improvements in the models of simulating lossy inductive components in the quasi-static approximation in Elmer finite-element software is presented (Elmer, n.d.). Models include laminate stack models for core materials; massive, stranded, and foil winding models for inductors; and coupling to external circuits. The strong scaling parallel performances of the models with different mesh and solver settings are measured in a cluster environment. All models scale well up to at least 96 processes.
