Boundary Element Method (BEM)

PM motor
The Boundary Element Method solves field problems by solving an equivalent source problem. In the case of electric fields, it solves for equivalent charge, while in the case of magnetic fields, it solves for equivalent currents.
BEM also uses an integral formulation of Maxwell's Equations, which allows for very accurate field calculations. Unlike FEM the electric and magnetic fields are computed directly from the source. This technique produces accuracies not attainable by Finite Element Method.

Finite Element Method (FEM)

FEM mesh for PM motor
Finite elements solve by breaking up a problem into small regions and solutions are found for each region taking into account only the regions that are right next to the one being solved. In the case of magnetic fields where FEM is often used, the vector potential is what is solved for in these regions.
