Abstract :
Overlapping elements can be used to connect non-conforming meshes in the finite-element method. This approach has been developed with the scalar potential formulation and used to solve magnetostatic problems but not in the case of the vector potential formulation. In this paper, we propose to introduce the overlapping element method in this second formulation.
