• Resumen

  • Computer programs were developed based on the finite element method and the charge simulation method for the calculation of three dimensional electric fields in high voltage engineering. A brief description of the applied methods with respect to the special requirements of high voltage engineering is presented. In order to use the specific advantages of the finite element method and the charge simulation method, two procedures combining both methods are proposed: an iterative method and a direct method. For the calculation of three dimensional problems without symmetry the iterative procedure has the advantage that the coupling program is small compared with the field calculation programs and no major changes in these programs are necessary.
