A General Framework for Mixed Structured/Unstructured PEEC ModellingAbstract
The paper proposes a re-formulation of PEEC modeling in terms of dual discretization of surface conductors. The result is a precise formalization of the PEEC tessellation and gives the possibility of handling general meshes, both structured and unstructured. This fact allows the use of triangular meshes only where necessary, leaving orthogonal discretization whenever possible and improving computational performances. The method, referred to as dual-PEEC, is validated by solving a structure referenced in literature and finally applied to the computation of the input impedance of a spiral inductor.
