Abstract :
This paper proposes a review of the magnetostatic moments method (MoM) applied to model electromagnetic devices. This method is now well-known for its "light weight" and its simplicity of implementation. Its main advantages are the nonrequirement of an air region mesh and a coarse mesh of the ferromagnetic material. It leads to very fast resolution and very accurate field, force, and moment computations. The paper proposes a state of the art of this approach and shows some efficient realizations
