Abstract :
This communication presents a method to discretize electromagnetic source fields in the Whitney element spaces for static electromagnetic potential formulations. This method requires no finite element solution to calculate this source fields. It is based on the use of a facet or an edge tree. We will test it on electrokinetic, electrostatic and magnetostatic examples
