Abstract
The paper presents a comparative analysis of different commercial and academic software. The comparison aims to examine how the integrated adaptive grid refinement methodologies can deal with challenging, electromagnetic-field related problems. For this comparison, two bench-mark problems were examined in the paper. The first example is a solution of an L-shape domain like test problem, which has a singularity at a certain point in the geometry. The second problem is an induction heated aluminum rod, which accurate solution needs to solve non-linear, coupled physical fields. The accurate solution of this problem requires applying adaptive mesh generation strategies or applying a very fine mesh in the electromagnetic domain, which can significantly increase the computational complexity. The results show that the fully-hp adaptive meshing strategies, which are integrated into Agros Suite, can significantly reduce the task's computational complexity compared to the automatic h-adaptivity, which is part of the examined, popular commercial solvers.
