Schur-complement based parallel finite element analysis coupled with circuit and mechanical equations
The analysis and design of electromechanic devices involve the solution of large sparse linear systems, and require, therefore, high performance algorithms. In this paper, the Schur complement method with a parallel preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) solver is introduced into two-dimensional parallel time-stepping finite element formulation to analyze a rotating machine considering an electromagnetic field, external circuit and rotor movement.
