The Impedance Method for the Solution of Quasi-Static Electromagnetic Problems

Impadence method
- is based on the discretization of the physical model that must be modeled into
computational cells.
- uses uniform cells to discretize the physical model
(physical model is represented by means of an electrical network with resistance or
admittances derived from the physical properties of the physical model itself.)
-

no restriction on the circuit element used between two nodes.
