  • Abstract
    The paper presents numerical model of the magnetic stimulation of the human body. The proposed model allows one to calculate eddy current distribution inside the body with a metal implant, which can be ferromagnetic or diamagnetic. A hybrid Toarr-Omega, Aoarr finite-element method formulation is used, where Omega is calculated by semi-analytical integration over a boundary of the conducting region. The three-step algorithm is presented, with discussion about implementation and computational problems
