Abstract
Force calculations based on numerical field solutions represent an important step in the design of many electro-magneto-mechanical devices. Ensuring that the calculated forces are as accurate as possible for a given field solution is a requirement for any viable design system. This paper is concerned with the errors encountered in numerical force calculation and methods which avoid them.
