I am trying to calculate the partial self-inductance of specific features in a conductive assembly. To accurately calculate the partial self-inductance, you must use the magnetic vector potential method; however, it is difficult to calculate using the fields calculator. The magnetic vector potential equation is:
\[\vec{A}\] = \[\frac{ \mu}{ 4*\pi}\] \[\int\] \[\frac{\vec{J}({r}^{'}) \mathrm{d}{V}^{'}}{\sqrt{(x - {x}^{'})^{2} + (y - {y}^{'})^{2} + (z - {z}^{'})^{2}}\]
The prime variables point to the source current while the non-prime variables point to the observation point. The problem is that I need to integrate over the prime variables so that the magnetic vector potential is a function of the observation point (i.e. I need a value for magnetic vector potential for every grid point). Has anyone solved this problem using HFSS or something similar?
