Time-domain finite elements for virtual testing of electromagnetic compatibility

The paper presents a time-domain finite-element solver developed for simulations related to solving electromagnetic compatibility issues. The software is applied as a module integrated into a general framework developed within a FP7 European project High Intensity Radiated Field – Synthetic Environment (HIRF SE). The software is capable to simulate a large class of problems, including scattering in open space, giving a reasonable user interface. In the paper, the mathematical formulation is briefly presented, but special emphasis is put on the user point of view on the simulation tool-chain. The functionality is demonstrated on the computation of shielding effectiveness of two composite materials
