Abstract
An adaptive FEM for 3D magnetostatic problems involving non-linear material s and permanent magnets is presented. The problems are formulated in terms of scalar potentials and discretized on a tetrahedral mesh using linear sha pe functions. Local error is estimated by approximately solving an independ ent differential problem in each tetrahedral element.
