• In this article, a nonconformal domain decomposition method (DDM) based on the hybrid finite element method (FEM) and boundary element method (BEM) is proposed to solve arbitrary 3-D anisotropic (including bianisotropic and single anisotropic) multiscale composite objects. The object is divided into interior and exterior regions. The interior region is solved by the bianisotropic finite element domain decomposition method (FEM-DDM), and the exterior region is solved by the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method based on the combined field integral equation (CFIE). In order to decouple the electric and magnetic fields of the bianisotropic object, a new finite element-boundary element-domain decomposition method (FEM-BEM-DDM) formulation is derived. To ensure the continuity of electric current and electric field between anisotropic FEM subdomains, a new auxiliary current is introduced into the interface of different subdomains of FEM and the interface of FEM subdomains with BEM subdomains. The former uses second-order transmission conditions (SOTCs) to ensure continuity, whereas the latter uses Robin transmission conditions (RTCs) to ensure continuity. The BEM dense matrix-vector multiplication is accelerated by a multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). The proposed FEM-BEM-DDM allows for nonconformal discretization between any touching subdomains and provides an effective preconditioner. In numerical examples, the accuracy and effectiveness of the method are verified.
