ESI Group Releases Updated PAM-CEM Simulation Suite

By DE Editors

ESI Group has released the latest version of its PAM-CEM Simulation Suite. Targeted at electromagnetic product designers, the software provides unique coupling capabilities, allowing multi-scale electromagnetic phenomena assessment in the middle and high frequency ranges. A major benefit for PAM-CEM end users is the ability to handle detailed 3D models of systems featuring emitting or receiving antennas and sophisticated cable networks.

Enhancements include treatment of 3D anisotropic materials and extended DMP (Distributed Memory Processing) parallel processing for improved performance. It also includes a new version of the PAM-CEM/HF software tool, which relies on physical optics, and addresses specialized applications in aeronautic RADAR as well as antenna radiations aboard very large sized naval ships. The upgrade allows handling of much larger elements, having an overall size exceeding several wavelengths. The software also displays an extended list of output results, including: near and far radiated fields; induced currents on the structure; regular 2D/3D radiation patterns; and, monostatic RCS values (RADAR Cross Section) with all four terms of the polarization matrix in one single run.

A 3D/3D coupling process is now part of PAM-CEM/FD (Finite Difference Time Domain), which enables flexible management of sophisticated radiating devices. Once characterized in an accurate manner with local mesh refinement, a source can be easily moved or rotated inside much larger computational 3D domains without any particular meshing constraint.

The new version of the software is accompanied by the release of Visual-CEM 7.5, a dedicated pre- and post- processing environment focused on the advanced management of Cable Networks and providing many dedicated features for the specification of cables, connectors, CRIPTE tubes, harnesses and networks.
