Abstract :
A three-dimensional magnetostatic field computation method is presented. It uses the vector potential formulation, which is valid for any topology in opposition to the scalar formulation needing special cuts that are not always obvious. Attention is given to the calculation of strongly singular integrals using the Cauchy principal value. Two examples show the accuracy of this method.
