Abstract

When solving eddy-current problems containing topologically non-trivial conductors with formulations using the magnetic scalar potential in the insulators, cohomology generators are necessary to obtain a well-defined problem. The Dłotko–Specogna (DS) algorithm is a simple and efficient tool to compute the lazy generators of the first cohomology group of the insulator that can be used in such potential design. This paper introduces an upgrade in the DS algorithm that speeds up the execution for very complicated geometries. Moreover, this paper provides, for the first time, a detailed comparison of computational resources needed for the topological pre-processing by our toolbox and by the tool to compute a standard cohomology basis available in the mesh generator GMSH. In addition, we make our implementation of DS algorithm available for download on request for non-profit use as a Topoprocessor package. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
