Abstract :
This paper deals with a simultaneous analysis of electromagnetic structures, represented by 2D finite elements, connected to their feeding circuit. As the main contribution, the electromagnetic device motion is taken into account. The proposed methodology is based on the sequential resolution of circuit, field and mechanical equations. The circuit equations are determined automatically during the simulation
