Application of the PGD and DEIM to Solve a 3-D Non-Linear Magnetostatic Problem Coupled With the Circuit Equations.

Among the model order reduction techniques, the proper generalized decomposition (PGD) has shown its efficiency to solve static and quasistatic problems in the time domain. However, the introduction of non-linearity due to ferromagnetic materials, for example, has never been addressed. In this paper, the PGD technique combined with the discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) is applied to solve a non-linear magnetostatic problem coupled with the circuit equations. To evaluate the reduction technique, the transient state of a three-phase transformer at no load is studied using the full finite-element model and the PGD–DEIM model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
