Nodal Method
Algorithm
The system of circuit equations is easily constructed through
building blocks of admittance elements.
It is widely used in power network calculations.
Forcing currents injected at specified circuit nodes.
Building blocks are obtained from:
Network-independent voltage-current relations (VCR) of an
element.
The numbering of the element terminals within an arbitrary network.

Nodal Method
Frequency Domain
Consider only time-harmonic computations for the sake of
simplicity.
VCR of an admittance:
y a v a = ia
If the terminals are connected to nodes p and q of an arbitrary network
of m non-trivial nodes, the branch voltage can be expressed as
va = vp − vq
The current contribution to nodes p and q is given by

The final system of equations can be simply written as

Nodal Method
Attributes and Limitations
Advantages
Construction by building blocks gives an algorithm easily
programmable.
Mutually coupled admittances are readily incorporated.
Source transformation may allow incorporation of non-ideal voltage
sources.
Current controlled current sources can also be accommodated.

Nodal Method
Attributes and Limitations
Limitations
Non-natural elements such as ideal voltage sources, dependent
sources, transformers and auto-transformers cannot be directly
considered in the analysis.
Special post- and pre- processing are required with non-natural
elements.
Loss of information with the use of transformations (such as
Norton’s theorem). Topologically connected nodes are
reduced in number.

The Modified Nodal Analysis

Incorporation of VCR relations as additional equations.
Injection of the element currents to nodes.
Total elimination of the nodal method limitations with the
advantage of keeping one of its main attributes: Building Block

building process.

The Modified Nodal Analysis
MNA
D, A and B are matrices whose element entries are zeros, ones,
element resistances and dependent source gains.
Zero diagonal may exist but this does not seem to be a limitation
due to efficient sparse matrix solvers and reordering techniques.
fv is a forcing vector that contains the voltage values of
independent voltage sources and zeros for other non-natural
elements.
ie is the vector of unknown branch currents of non-natural
elements.

The Modified Nodal Analysis
MNA
A = B in the absence of equivalent circuit dependent sources.
The MNA technique is widely used in most modern circuit
simulation packages.
It has a strong foundation on circuit theory.
The procedure for constructing the building blocks is always the
same: addition of VCR and incorporation of the element current
into the nodal equations.

2D Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Equations
Let a 2D domain be constituted by pure non-conducting regions
as well as by an arbitrary number of filamentary and solid
conducting sub-domains.
Neglect displacement current and free charge.
Maxwell’s equations lead to the following diffusion type equation

The VCR of solid and filamentary conductors can be written in the
frequency domain as
vp − vq = ri + j d ωN T a
subscripts f and s have been dropped out since filamentary and solid
conductors can be treated in a unified way
This VCR can be added to as an additional equation, leading to

Coupled system
The coupled field-circuit system is symmetric if E = F.
This condition is achieved with circuits that do not contain voltage
or current controlled sources.
Notice that MVP-controlled sources do not lead to asymmetry.
The coupled problem will not have zeros in the main diagonal for
systems that consider non-ideal voltage sources and inductances,
capacitances and resistances.

The incorporation of building blocks can be arbitrarily performed in
any order.
This means that the building blocks of solid and filamentary conductors
are actually members of the family of non-natural circuit elements:

Conclusions
The MNA scope has been broadened out with the addition of one
new non-natural element (a MVP-controlled voltage source)
The FE model has benefited from a well-posed formulation of
unknown currents in conductor regions.
A building block has been presented for systematic inclusion of
both solid and filamentary conductors of FE regions within
arbitrary topologies of circuit systems.

Conclusions
The circuit system does not “see” differences between these
classes of conductors, it only sees controlled voltage sources.
The proposed MNA-FE coupling technique is based on sound
circuit theory known by all electrical and electronic engineers.
Concepts of of topology theory are not needed.

Conclusions
The methodology can also be easily mounted on existing FE
codes due to the building block approach that is also
conventionally used in the FE method.
