Electro-magnetic energy conversion
The electro magnetic energy conversion is given by Ampere's law and Faraday's law respectively:
In this equation is the magnetomotive force that is supplied to the connected magnetic circuit, is the magnetic flux through the associated branch of this magnetic circuit. The negative sign of the induced voltage is due to Lenz's law.
The static inductance is calculated from the flux linkage
and the current :
This quantity is calculated for information only.

Leakage reluctance with respect to the reluctance of a useful flux path (not for dynamic simulation of actuators)
Differently from the flux tube elements of package Shapes.Leakage
that are calculated from their geometry, this leakage reluctance is calculated with reference to the total reluctance of a useful flux path. Parameter c_usefulFlux
is the ratio of the useful flux over the total flux.

For modelling of eddy current in a conductive magnetic flux tube
Eddy currents are induced in a conductive magnetic flux tube when the flux changes with time. This causes a magnetic voltage drop in addition to the voltage drop that is due to the reluctance of this flux tube. The eddy current component can be thought of as a short-circuited secondary winding of a transformer with only one turn. Its resistance is then determined by the geometry and resistivity of the eddy current path. Alternatively, a total conductance parameter can be used.
Partitioning of a solid conductive cylinder or prism into several hollow cylinders or separate nested prisms and modelling of each of these flux tubes connected in parallel with a series connection of a reluctance element and an eddy current component can model the delayed buildup of the magnetic field in the complete flux tube from the outer to the inner sections. Please refer to [Ka08] for an illustration.
