            Abstract : 
Parallelisation of the Opera FEA simulation software from Cobham Technical Services, Vector Fields Software is necessary in order for it to make best use of modern hardware. This paper considers the parallelisation of the calculation of electromagnetic fields due to coils of tightly wound thin wires. Results showing excellent parallel speedup for realistic industrial models are presented.
