The Field Computation Laboratory was established in the year 2005 in the Electrical Engineering Department of IIT Bombay. It is intended for academic and research purpose. The lab has state-of-art computation facility for Finite Element (FE) solutions, which involve simulation and design optimization of electrical machines. Two- and three-dimentional FE codes are developed in basic computing languages such as C, C++ as well as in advance languages such MATLAB®, Scilab, etc. Coupled field formulations, viz. magneto-structural, magneto-thermal, field-circuit, are studied, solved and analyzed by developing efficient algorithms. A number of Continuing Education Programs (CEPs) for industries as well as Quality Improvement Programs (QIPs) for academic institutes are often organized through which knowledge of recent trends and methods in Computational Electromagnetics is spread over the community of electromagnetic engineers.
