Abstract In this paper, a novel numerical technique to solve electromagnetic boundary value problem is described. This finite element based method of lines is developed by combining finite element method and the method of lines, so that it not only has high flexibility to treat geometrically and compositionally complex problems but also maintains high accuracy of semi-analytical technique. The geometry discretization, element mapping, element trial function and standard ordinary differential equation construction are discussed in details. Our numerical result demonstrates that this method can successfully solve the complex problems with fewer mesh lines when compared with conventional method of lines.
