This paper discusses the benefits of manifolds over the traditional approach in practical problems of modelling. With a structural approach, it outlines the role and interdependence of coordinate systems, metric, constitutive equations, and fields, and relates them to practical problems of quasi-static computational electromagnetics: mesh generation, open-boundary problems, and electromagnetic-mechanical coupled problems involving motion and deformation. The proposed procedures also imply improvements to the flexibility of the modelling software.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-10-09T12:18:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J25", "35K20", "53B50", "58A99" ], "keywords": [ "quasi-static electromagnetic boundary value problems", "numerical solution", "practical problems", "quasi-static computational electromagnetics", "predominant formalism" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0710.1747R" } } }
