An overview will be provided of the principles characterizing the methods for numerical modelling of electromagnetic fields. On this basis, the students will be able to:
- explain the numerical modelling methods
- perform a numerical analysis of simpler problems related to the electrostatic field, the steady-state electric field in conductive materials, the magnetostatic and stationary magnetic fields, the vf electromagnetic field.
- set up a numerical model for combined coupled problems (electromechanical, electrothermal).

Students wishing to enroll in the course should be able to explain the basic notions and physical principles of electromagnetism, and they ought to have a basic understanding of the mathematical notation of partial differential equations. In the course-based discussions, the participants are expected to assess the consequences of electromagnetic principles and/or effects.

The teaching methods include lectures and computer laboratories. Cource is taking advantage of e-learning system.
Student have to do compulsory ten projects/assignment in computer laboratories during the cource.

The students are required to produce 10 computer-based tasks during the semester. A task can be marked with max. 5 pts; thus, 50 pts in total can be won by a student in this portion of course work. Another grading component consists in the semester exam, for which the students can gain 50 pts.
The credits are awarded to students who actively participate in all tutorials (computer-based exercises), submit all assigned tasks, and win at least the minimum of 30 pts for the tasks submitted.
In order to successfully complete the course, a student is required to gain the credits before taking the semester exam, and the exam results must not be below 20 points.
