Eddy currents (ECs) are simulated in a single laminate, representing the whole core of an electrical machine. Despite this drastic reduction in the complexity of the problem, a 3-D finite-element model turns out to be still too expensive for simulations. To overcome this difficulty, 2-D/1-D methods are used. This article presents a solution to consider both air gap and edge effect (EE) based on the multiscale finite-element method (MSFEM) using the magnetic vector potential (MVP) ${A}$ . Linear material properties are assumed; therefore, this article is carried out in the frequency domain. The new 2-D/1-D MSFEM is discussed, and various simulation results are presented.
