Solver methods
Integrated's software is based on a hybrid numerical technique combining both finite elements and boundary elements. The advantages of this new hybrid technique are:
- One software easily applied to any magnetic problem – gives you the confidence you need to solve any model.
- Incredible open field accuracy – never again accept spurious or bad field results.
- Excellent accuracy for nonlinear problems – solve any highly saturated problem easily and with confidence.
- Radically reduces mesh generation – apply a mesh faster, solve the model quicker, with less storage requirements.
- No artificial boundary or mesh in air required – radically simplifies model setup and ease of use.
- Amazing performance benefits compared to FEM only, BEM only software – hybrid model faster and more precise.
The best of both methods combined in one single program – powerful, intuitive and fully integrated FEBEM solver.
The choice of selecting between Boundary Element Method, Finite Element Method or the Hybrid FE-BE Method , for problem solving, is left to the User and can be selected easily at the click of a button within the model database.

Boundary Element Method (BEM)
The Boundary Element Method solves field problems by solving an equivalent source problem. In the case of electric fields it solves for equivalent charge, while in the case of magnetic fields it solves for equivalent currents. |
Finite Element Method (FEM)
Finite elements solve by breaking up a problem into small regions and solutions are found for each region taking into account only the regions that are right next to the one being solved. In the case of magnetic fields where FEM is often used, the vector potential is what is solved for in these regions. |

Hybrid BE-FE Method
The Hybrid BE-FE Method combines both methods to form a hybrid of the two.
- The hybrid solver takes the strengths of both methods and uses them to an advantage.
- The BEM handles the open regions and linear solution while the FEM handles the non-linear areas.
- The results are excellent open region solutions with no non-linear convergence problems.
