Abstract: To calculate magnetic global force on bodies several approaches can be used with the Finite Element Method (FEM). They are based on Maxwell`s stress tensor, or on the Lorentz formula or on the virtual work principle. The accuracy of the results for a given mesh is an important criterion for choosing between them. Description and comparison of these methods applied to the calculation of magnetic global forces on current carrying conductor is done.
