Overview of Electromagnetic Modeling Software

Abstract

Computational electromagnetic modeling (CEM) software is widely used to model antennas, microwave circuits, circuit boards, components, shielded enclosures, cables, motors, sensors, actuators and a wide variety of electrical and electronic devices. The general features, capabilities and costs vary greatly among different codes and new codes are introduced on a regular basis. This paper provides an overview of currently available CEM codes grouped by type, cost and the specific numerical techniques they employ.
