Abstract :
The finite element solution of three dimensional magnetostatic problems using a scalar potential on computers with limited memory and speed is described. The paper concentrates on three main aspects of a solution system; namely the interactive mesh generator, a soft-failing solver algorithm and the output display. Each of these is discussed in detail with regard to the limitations of the hardware system.
