Advantages of applying the vector finite element method to the electromagnetic problems
• Solves equations in nature quantities as 3D vector field
• Keeps the tangential component of the electric field continuous on the interface boundary
• The normal component of the electric field has jump on the interface boundary
• The FEM solution fulfils to the charge conservation law
• Any type and geometry of the field source are taking into account

Mesh generation
Complex structure of the investigated media requires to use meshes that have good approximation of the curvilinear boundaries, have local thickening.
