In this highly popular symposium event, fundamental EMC modeling approaches and simulation methods are illustrated through a series of interactive computer demonstrations. Various computational electromagnetic (CEM) modeling techniques will be demonstrated illustrating their application to simple canonical type problems in order to show how specific EMC problems can be solved. These include the application of the Moment Method (MoM), Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD), Ray Tracing Method (RTM), Finite Difference Time-Domain (FDTD), Finite Element Method (FEM), Transmission Line (TL) theory, and other useful methods. Many new demonstrations have been added each year, and an interactive participation during the demonstrations is encouraged.Approximately 10 software demonstrations are planned for this symposium, and each presenter will be allotted a three-hour time slot in which to present their demonstration. Two time slots each will be available on Tuesday and Wednesday, and one time slot on Thursday. The demonstrations will be conducted using general-purpose codes; no codes or tools used in this session may be demonstrated for commercial or promotional purposes*. The computer modeling and simulation demonstrations should continue to focus on various technical areas of interest to the EMC practitioner. A list of potential topics includes:
-
Shielding Effectiveness Simulation Using the FDTD Method
-
Modeling the Shielding Effectiveness Using Integral Equation Techniques
-
Radiation Through Apertures, Gaskets and Joints
-
