A novel finite element model, which uses magnetic field intensity H as
a state variable in the whole solution region of 3D eddy current prob
lems, is presented. A surface integral on the interface, which leads t
o asymmetric equations in discretization, is considered in this formul
ation. The formulation uses consistently linear edge elements and flux
continuity is ensured by imposing del . B=0 with the penalty method,
Numerical results of the problem No. 3 of the TEAM WORKSHOP are provid
ed, showing the validity of the algorithm.
