Efficient parallel 3-D computation of electrical machines with Elmer

After its recent improvements described here, open source finite element software Elmer is shown to be a highly efficient option for electrical machine modeling. The parallelization of computational burden is shown to be a necessity. The methods implemented enable applying fully parallel computation to electrical machine models, including rotation and electrical circuits. Computational experiments performed demonstrate that Elmer can effectively utilize several hundreds of computational cores in parallel, making it an attractive alternative when computational speed is of high importance
