Software handles large frequency range
VA One contains technology for rigorously coupling the finite element method (FEM), the boundary element method (BEM) and SEA in a single analysis.
Only a close collaboration between ESI Group and leading car manufacturers such as Renault or Nissan could make it happen", said Jean-Claude Kedzia, PAM-CEM Solutions Product Manager.
"PAM-CEM Solutions gives EMC experts the ability to manage very sophisticated cable networks.
Complex electromagnetic phenomena can be investigated in depth very early, long before the first physical EMC prototype is available.
The results of simulations powered by PAM-CEM Solutions provide a better understanding of how the car will perform, helping engineers to evaluate rapidly various options in the vehicle electrical design".
With ESI Group's new release, time domain radiated fields can be either calculated through finite difference algorithms for fast evaluation, or accurately computed using advanced modelling with 3D finite element formalism.
Both options are automatically coupled with Cripte.
Antenna radiation simulation is one of the main areas where PAM-CEM Solutions 2004 brings a full understanding of the phenomena.
Several levels of accuracy are available to the user for the analysis of wired antennas.
For example, the expert can select a fast evaluation to optimise the performance of traditional antenna devices and their on-board location, while an accurate simulation will be required to analyse sophisticated rear- or side-window antennas, which are known to be sensitive to their operating environment.
Other new features of the 2004 release include a user-friendly environment with enhanced modelling capabilities for onboard antennas and cable networks, from their positioning inside the vehicle to the specification of the related electrical architecture.
PAM-CEM Solutions 2004 is available on Unix workstations from HP, IBM, SGI, and Sun, as well as vendor-supported Linux platforms.
