Abstract

In this chapter, the quasi-finite element approach for modelling of electromagnetic levitation micro-systems is developed [1]. The developed approach allows calculating accurately and efficiently a distribution of induced eddy current within a levitated micro-object by means of using finite elements. The combination of finite element manner to calculate induced eddy current and the set of six differential equations describing the behaviour of the mechanical part of electromagnetic levitation system is the resulting essence of the proposed quasi-finite element approach to simulate IL-micro-systems.
