Abstract
A method for modeling the interactions between objects. The surface the objects define an interface between media. A set of elementary characteristic functions are chosen that correspond to the field of application. The physical properties the media are defined. Each object is modelled as a mesh and elementary point sources are associated with either side of each mesh element. The type of boundary conditions are determined for each interface. The global matrix for the interactions between the various objects is constructed, depending on the type of boundary conditions, the properties of the media and the configuration of the system. The global matrix is inverted. The inverted matrix is multiplied by a column matrix of the excitation boundary conditions. A column matrix is obtained containing the elementary point sources. At every point, the physical quantities representative of the interactions are calculated and an analytical model of the interactions is obtained.
