This paper presents a original method for open magnetic cores modelling. It is called the distributed point source method. It is based on a spatial distribution of point sources located on the core surfaces emitting the magnetic flux, called the active surfaces. Compared to Finite Elements methods, the DSPM method requires only the meshing of these active surfaces, which considerably reduces the solving process time. In this paper, the DSPM method is applied on a magnetic cylindrical core, placed in free space.
This paper has been first presented orally at the C2I colloquium in February 2001
