Abstract :
The advantages and related costs of using irregular triangles for the finite element analysis (FEA) of electromagnetic systems are investigated. The modelling flexibility and efficiency of purely localized h-refinements for triangles are illustrated and evaluated. Practical implementation and application details for irregular triangle FEA modules are presented and discussed
