Edge element multigrid solution of non‐linear magnetostatic problems

Abstract

A geometric multigrid (MG) method for the efficient solution of 3D non‐linear magnetostatic field problems is presented. A finite element method (FEM) with edge elements is used to describe the magnetic vector potential. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the MG method not only for linear, but also for non‐linear problems.
