Abstract :
This paper presents a complete methodology to control the quality of electromagnetic field computation using the finite element method. An error estimate is built up using the error in the constitutive relation. Proof is made that this estimate relates to the exact error in some cases. Both problems of control of quality and mesh optimisation are then discussed
