Preface
Finite element method (FEM) got to be one of the most popular classes
of such numerical methods. As a consequence, FEM became a staple
for predicting and simulating the physical behavior of engineering
products in the past decades. Its versatility makes possible to develop
general purpose software, attracting the attention in the market in such
way that it represents a commercial product itself. As a result, the
commercial finite element analysis (FEA) software packages gained
common acceptance among engineers in industry and researchers at
universities. Nevertheless, it is possible to observe that many engineers
are asked to use commercial FEM software packages without proper
knowledge of the FEM underlying theory and capability, which
represent a risk to manage results without real sense.
The ARWtr2010 Tutorial presents two concise and unified parts. Part I
summarizes the basic ingredients that are required for the
implementation of the finite element method, while Part II deals with
different design aspects related with electromagnetic and coupled field
in power transformers introduced, through representative examples in a
step-by-step fashion.
Finally, I would like to note that this tutorial was organized in the frame
rd
of the 3 International Advanced Workshop of transformers held in
Santiago de Compostela-Spain in October 3-6, 2010 under patronage
of Cigre Spanish and Portuguese National Committees, and IEEE PES
Spanish Chapter. Therefore, I would like to thank all participants, as
well as institutions listed at the end for their active support.
