They are based on Maxwell`s stress tensor, or on the Lorentz formula or on the virtual work principle. The accuracy of the results for a given mesh is an important criterion for choosing between them. Description and comparison of these methods applied to the calculation of magnetic global forces on current carrying conductor is done. ER -
