| Abstract | This thesis focuses on the development of pre- and post-processing methods for the simulation of inductive position sensors, building upon an existing Boundary Element Method (BEM) simulation for eddy currents. The original BEM simulation, while functional, was highly academic in nature and faced significant limitations, making it unsuitable for industrial applications. The primary goal of this work was to transform the program into a more practical and flexible tool for industrial use. Key improvements include significant runtime performance enhancements through the use of decomposition caching techniques. One major limitation, which only allowed for an analytical circular excitation coil, has been overcome by implementing support for arbitrary discrete line meshes as excitation coils, greatly increasing flexibility. Furthermore, important progress has been made in introducing cohomology handling to manage simulations on meshes with holes, although this feature is not yet complete. A Python interface was also developed, providing more flexible control over the simulation without requiring code modifications. These enhancements make the software more adaptable and usable in industrial settings.
