Abstract :
Although sparse exact open boundary methods exist, the implementation of these methods requires capabilities that are not present in all finite-element solvers. This work describes methods for the implementation of accurate higher order asymptotic boundary conditions for 2D planar, axisymmetric, and 3D magnetostatic problems that can be improvised in virtually any finite-element program.
