Abstract :
We present in this paper how the 2D Finite Element Method may be optimized in order to get real time solving for Computer Aided Education applications. Three examples of such packages are described: the first one is used by students to understand the distribution of the magnetic field in a nonlinear magnetic circuit. The second one allows to understand the distribution of eddy currents in a conductive and magnetic sheet, and the third one is used to approach the flux density repartition in DC motors
