Abstract :
The classical solution of electromagnetic problems using the finite element (FE) method needs to assemble, store and solve an Ax = b matrix system. A new technique for solving FE cases, considered much simpler than traditional methods, shows that the assembling of the matrix A is unnecessary. The difference between these two techniques is the computation and processing time. The new one requires more iterations to converge, observing, nevertheless, that the results are reliable. One possible way to improve its performance is the application of parallelization techniques.
